Taking Care of Our Own Fund
Administered by the Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF) and funded by the McKesson Foundation and donations from our company and employees to help our employees facing hardships due to unexpected events, such as natural disasters or family emergencies.
We care about our people — when they’re at work, at home or anywhere in between.
That’s why we sponsor the employee relief fund. It’s a way for our people to get (and give) help during difficult times. It’s how we take care of our own.
Providing Grants for Care
We understand that unexpected emergencies can arise, and the Taking Care of Our Own Fund (The Fund) is there for employees in the event something happens. The Fund offers two types of grants:
The Fund offers up to $5,000 to cover basic costs following a personal hardship or government-declared disaster. EAF processes applications quickly, typically within 3-5 business days if all required documentation is provided, and approved applicants usually receive payment within 2 weeks. Grant applications are not visible or reviewed by McKesson or the McKesson Foundation, ensuring employee privacy.
Since it's a grant, employees never have to repay it. However, income guidelines apply to ensure the fund assists those in greatest need.
