No one expects to fall on hard times. But if they do, the people of FirstService companies, FirstService subsidiaries and their franchises should know their FirstService family is here to support them. Caring for Our Own is the driving force behind the FirstService Relief Fund in the U.S. and Canada – which is built up by the people of FirstService for the people of FirstService.
The FirstService Relief Fund relies on donations made by you and others across the FirstService family of companies, subsidiaries and franchises to award tax-free grants – not loans — that help eligible fellow team members who are facing financial struggles from unforeseen disaster or personal adversity.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, goes directly to the Relief Fund. And with more contributions come more opportunities to help team members struggling with hardships including, but not limited to:
Serious Illness, Injury
Death of an employee or a family member
Natural Disasters
Military service obligations
Victims of domestic violence or other crimes
Contributions are tax-deductible in the U.S. and eligible for tax credits in Canada.
No matter where you live, you can support colleagues in need by donating to the U.S. or Canada Relief Funds*.
