IRPStart Immediate Response Program Details
The EAF is a 501c3 charity that assists employers with setting up employer sponsored disaster relief and employee hardship funds. The Fund is offered at no cost to the employer and is monetarily funded via donations from employee deductions or employer direct contributions.
Donations are made by employee contributions via payroll deduction, credit or debit card, check, by the employer mostly through a donation-matching program or direct contribution by the employer’s foundation or through fundraising events.
When Emergency Relief Funds are setup at irpstart.com they provide a swift and convenient way for financial assistance to get to each employee in need. Funds can be allocated to an employee within a few days from applying.
Trained EAF personnel conduct a final application review to determine if they meet the criteria established specifically for the company’s ERF. After review, the grant requests are either accepted or denied based on the objective criteria
