The Family Fund
Created for associates. Funded by associates. Here when it matters most.
When You Need Us, We're Here
The Family Fund was created to allow associates to help fellow associates in times of need. The Fund provides financial assistance to Blank Family of Businesses associates who have experienced a recent emergency or event resulting in financial hardship.
Established in 2023, the Family Fund follows two of our Core Values: Put People First and Give Back to Others. The Fund gives associates an opportunity to financially support fellow associates impacted by emergency situations or catastrophic events and help them and their immediate families get back on their feet. The Fund is sustained entirely by associate giving, and all full-time and part-time associates are eligible to contribute through bi-weekly payroll deduction.
