This is the true spirit of Hamra Employees Reaching Out. If an employee does not meet the criteria for assistance from The HERO Fund, an approved fundraiser can be held on their behalf which may qualify for a Matching Grant. Fundraisers should be approved through the proper channels of each market and are not associated with The HERO Fund in any way. It is preferred that employees first apply for and be denied a HERO grant. NOTE: An applicant cannot receive a HERO grant and matching funds for the same event.
Eligibility:
- 18 or older: No
- Tenure required: None
Award Amount:
Match of team funds raised, up to $1,000 per event. Only one grant is permitted per each eligible event, regardless of the number of fundraisers held.
Description
Employee has a need for assistance that does not meet eligible grant criteria and coworkers wish to raise funds to help fulfill the employee’s need. Fundraisers must be approved prior to starting the fundraiser. NOTE: An applicant cannot receive a HERO grant and matching funds for the same event.
Required Documentation
The General Manager or Human Resources Business Partner must apply for the Matching Grant through the Hero site with an explanation of why the restaurant wants to hold a fundraiser for a specific active employee.
