Staff Emergency Fund
The Staff Emergency Fund is made available because of CSUSB staff, like you, who have donated funds to provide assistance to staff in need. There is no repayment required, so if you are not in need at this time, please consider contributing to the Staff Emergency Fund, so that we can continue assisting staff members in the future!
WHAT EXPENSES CAN BE COVERED THROUGH THE EMERGENCY FUND?
A temporary financial hardship is one caused by a specific event such as:
Personal, family, living, or funeral expenses incurred as a result of a qualified disaster.
Unexpected medical, mental health or dental costs related to the emergency and not covered by insurance.
Temporary assistance with food insecurity resulting from the emergency.
Unplanned or additional childcare costs for staff required to work on campus during an emergency.
Emergency funding is not guaranteed and is based on demonstrated need, short-term nature of the financial emergency, committee approval and available funds.
Given the limited amount of funds, all requests cannot be approved even though there may be a clear need for assistance. This fund may be insufficient in the case of widespread disasters, community crisis, or war/terrorism.
