Supporting our team members through life’s unexpected hardships.
Just as we do for our patients, Centerstone believes in supporting our team members through every twist and turn of life’s journey. The Brighter Future Fund is designed to help employees facing unexpected hardships, providing the relief needed to navigate challenging times.
What is the Brighter Future Fund?
Centerstone’s Brighter Future Fund provides financial assistance to part-time and full-time employees who are dealing with financial emergencies caused from the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. While this first phase of the Fund is focused on supporting those impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton (with a very simple process), Centerstone is working to develop phase two that will define scope, eligibility and a more formal application and review process (similar to other organization’s relief funds for employees). We anticipate this by early 2025.
Who is Eligible?
The Brighter Future Fund is available to all full-time and part-time employees of Centerstone who are experiencing a hardship. If you’re experiencing an emergency and are in need of financial help, we encourage you to apply.
How Does it Work?
Employees can apply for financial assistance by submitting an application detailing the nature of their emergency as a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Requests can be made for expenses not covered by FEMA or insurance. Grants are provided on a charitable basis, meaning staff won’t need to worry about repayment while focusing on what matters most. Applications are reviewed by a trusted fund administration committee, and all information is handled with the highest level of confidentiality.
Contribute to a Brighter Future
You can also make a difference in the lives of Centerstone team members by contributing to the Brighter Future Fund. Tax-deductible donations are accepted year-round, and every contribution—whether big or small—helps a fellow team member in their time of need. Gifts can be made online using a credit card, and current Centerstone staff members can also donate via one-time payroll deductions.
We’re Here for You
Life’s challenges can be unpredictable, but with the Brighter Future Fund, you’re never alone. If you’re experiencing a hardship, reach out today. Together, we can build a brighter future for all of our Centerstone family.
