The Wingate Living Employee Relief Fund
Caring for our family of employees
The Wingate Living Employee Emergency Relief Fund is a charitable organization established to support the employees of Wingate Living and its affiliates. Operating independently from Wingate Living, its mission is to provide financial support to employees affected by severe financial hardship due to unforeseeable circumstances.
The Wingate Living Employee Emergency Relief Fund provides financial assistance in the form of a grant for employees of Wingate Senior Living and its affiliates who are experiencing severe, unexpected economic hardship and who are unable to afford basic housing, utilities, food, clothing, and other essential living expenses, which was caused by a Qualifying Event.
All Wingate employees shall be considered for a grant from the fund if they:
- Are actively employed by Wingate or a Wingate-affiliate at least 30 hours per week (“full time”).
- Have been employed by Wingate or a Wingate-affiliate on a full-time basis for at least one (1) year.
- Are in good standing and are not on a Performance Improvement Plan.
Qualifying events considered include:
- Major uninsured medical expenses
- Domestic emergency
- Death, hospitalization, or incapacitation of an employee’s immediate family member, which results in hardship to the employee
- Home loss due to fire
- An unanticipated family emergency involving an immediate family member*
- Any combination of the above
- Potential eviction or loss of residence/home
At Wingate Living, we’re here to help any employee in need because we’re a family, and that’s what families do. And you can help, too. Employee contributions are tax-deductible, and will provide an emergency resource for a co-worker in critical need.
