Here to help in times of need.
The YMCA of Western North Carolina is a nonprofit committed to strengthening our community. We recognize that our employees are part of that community and know there are times when a helping hand is needed.
To meet that need, we’ve established the Points of Light Employee Crisis Fund. Named for its founding donor, Points of Light is a rapid response emergency fund for staff members who find themselves in need of financial assistance.
The fund offers a one-time payment to assist with critical needs such as utilities, rent, or food. Gifts range between $100-$400 and are made in the form of gift cards or direct payments to providers.
Eligibility requirements
To be eligible for this benefit, the employee must have been employed by the YMCA for a minimum of 90 days and be able to provide supporting documentation such as an invoice or written impact statement.
The Points of Light benefit is available to all actively employed full-time employees, as well as to actively employed part-time employees who have been worked with us for at least 90 days and who have been negatively impacted by a national emergency such as COVID-19.
