Employee Lumberjack Fund

The Employee Lumberjack Fund provides emergency funding to support employees facing unforeseen crisis or hardships that require immediate, one-time financial assistance. Examples of crisis include loss of hours at work, housing emergency, a house fire, a death in the family, weather disaster or other significant events.

Funds do not need to be paid back. Funds may count as income and may be subject to federal or state taxes. Employees must be full time and benefit-eligible.  The maximum amount to be provided is $250 and may only be requested every four years.

Applications are generally reviewed within 5 business days from the day it is submitted. Checks will be available for pick up between 7-14 days from application date. Additional time and processing may be required for those unable to pick up the check from the NAU Foundation offices. All requests and information provided is kept strictly confidential.
