Donate to the fund to provide cash assistance for SEIU 503 members experiencing financial hardship
In times of need, we’re stronger if we pull together and lift each other up. That’s why our Union created a fund to provide cash assistance to SEIU members facing financial hardship. Any SEIU member (or sub-local) may donate to the fund, and all members in good standing are eligible to receive funds.
- Any member in good standing who is experiencing an economic hardship as a result of specific board-approved events is eligible to receive a cash benefit from this fund. In the past this fund has been open to members who were impacted by wildfires, ice storms, flooding, or loss of SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown. The board will consider other hardship situations as they arise.
- Members apply online (can call MAC for assistance if needed).
- Staff will track applications, donations, and disbursements and ensure that payments are made according to these guidelines.
- Anyone can donate to the fund, including sublocals. We are asking for donations from members, sublocal leadership and staff.
