Update From The Hall Foundation

Due to the amazing participation of our employees, the committee has made a few changes to the Hall for One Emergency Assistance Program that I would like to make you aware of.  1. Awarded funds per applicant has increased up to $2,000 (previously was $1500).  2.  An applicant can apply every 2 years for funds (previously was 5 years).  Please remember that employees that are full-time or part-time are eligible and employees do not have to give to the fund to receive help. I have included an email Aubrey sent out to her team to spread the word about this great program. If you feel that a similar email would be helpful for your employees, I would encourage you to do the same.  I am not sure I have included all the HR team in this email.  If I missed anyone, please forward this message on.

Hall For One

Sometimes life throws us curveballs when we’re least expecting it. Lucky for us, the Hall For One Emergency Assistance Program was developed to help us get back on our feet.

The Hall For One Emergency Assistance Program is a resource for qualified employees of Brad Hall Companies who have experienced a financial hardship due to a tragedy, disaster, or other extreme life event to apply for grants to help cover basic living expenses. These grants are made possible by your employer, your co-workers, and by yourself! Here’s how it works…

All Brad Hall Company employees can enroll in the Hall For One program. After you’re enrolled, a small amount of your paycheck that you specify is placed in a large pool along with the financial donations of others who are enrolled and contributing to the program. When disaster strikes and those curveballs start coming (natural disasters, serious injury, illness, death of a loved one, etc.), you can apply to receive up to $2,000 in program support within a 3-year time period. Your application will be reviewed by a committee of Brad Hall Companies human resources representatives. The money is paid from the pool that you and others have been contributing to!

Eligibility: You are eligible to apply for assistance if you meet the following conditions:

  • You are currently an employee and have been employed in one of the Brad Hall Companies for at least one (1) continuous year.
  • You are a full-time or part-time employee.
  • You or an eligible dependent have experienced financial hardship due to a qualifying event that happened within the past 90 days. Eligible dependents are defined as your spouse and children under 21 years of age.

A qualifying event is:

  • A natural disaster (flood, earthquake, wildfire, tornado, etc.) that has affected your primary residence;

  • A serious illness or injury (employee or eligible dependent) that affects your ability to pay for basic living expenses;

  • A death (employee or eligible family member), when loss of income, funeral expenses, or uninsured medical expenses affect your ability to cover basic living expenses;

  • Catastrophic or extreme circumstances (fire, robbery, assault, domestic abuse) that affect your ability to cover basic living expenses.

How to Apply for Hall For One Funds?

To be considered for grant support, complete all three pages of the application. Print your name at the top of each page. Incomplete applications cannot be considered. Answering questions completely will help us process your request quickly. Attach current bills, invoices, and supporting documentation. You will be notified of the status of your application generally within 30 calendar days of receipt. Send your completed, signed application with supporting documentation to: [email protected] or, mail to: Hall For One Emergency Assistance Fund PO BOX 50620 Idaho Falls, ID 83405

Grants

Submitting a grant application does not guarantee support. The maximum program support is $2,000.00 within a three-year time period, provided sufficient funds are available. All approved assistance funds will be sent directly to the employee that requests support. The employee will be responsible to remit payments to the vendors for which the grant was intended.
