The C. R. Bard Employee Crisis Fund is designed to help eligible workers in the United States and Puerto Rico suffering from financial hardship short term in nature from a qualified disaster as defined by the IRS. The fund can help eligible workers affected by a qualified disaster pay for basic living expenses not covered by insurance or help from other organizations including: housing, home repair (for primary residence only), food, clothing and other basic living essentials. To be eligible, the date of the incident must have occurred on or after August 15, 2017 through the closing date of the BD Transaction. In addition, the date of the incident must have occurred within 90 days of the date the application is submitted.
All questions should be directed to Faith Krueger of the Community Foundation of New Jersey who is responsible for the entire application process.
