Presentation Synopsis
How do you successfully host volunteer events despite the pandemic? Now and in the future, volunteer events will need to transform to include individuals who work remotely, in hybrid situations, in person, and at various levels of the company.
In this presentation, America s Charities President and CEO Jim Starr is joined by Give To Get s Account Director Amber Greviskes and Sr. Manager, Social Impact Programs Tory Woods in a discussion about:
How the pandemic has affected employee volunteer campaigns from planning to implementation
It has been one year since the pandemic first prompted stay-at-home orders and business shutdowns.
A recent CBS News article reports, Many economists, including policymakers at the Federal Reserve, think a broad recovery will take hold in the second half of the year once the COVID-19 vaccine is widely distributed. A new Bankrate report shows that 44% of Americans share that sentiment. However, Bankrate s findings also reveal that 40% expect their financial situation to remain unchanged in 2021 and 14% expect it will get worse.
Just 39% of Americans would be able to cover an unexpected $1,000 expense. When you drill down to different age brackets, only a third of millennials (the largest generation in the U.S. labor force) could turn to emergency funds to pay $1,000. By contrast, 46 percent of Gen Xers and 45 percent of baby boomers said they could cover a $1,000 emergency.

(e.g. Employee Relief Fund, Emergency Relief Fund, Employee Support Fund, Employee Crisis Fund, Employee Hardship Fund, Employee Emergency Fund, and Employee grants) allows your company to help employees overcome unexpected financial hardships and demonstrate your commitment to responsible corporate citizenship.
There are different ways to administer an EAF. The best method for you will ultimately depend on factors such as the size of your company, how you will fund the EAF, and the complexity of your program.
