Donations and Support

Funded by Charles River Laboratories, the Charles River Employee Relief Fund was created to help employees who are facing financial hardship immediately after a natural disaster or an unforeseen personal hardship.

Make a Donation

At a later date, we will open up the opportunity for Charles River employees to be able to individually donate to directly support this program, using this secure site for you to make a donation with your credit/debit card. Every contribution helps, and your donation will support a tax-free grant (USA) to help a fellow employee in need when they are facing the unexpected. Stay tuned for details.

All donations to the fund at the Emergency Assistance Foundation, Inc. are tax deductible in the U.S. The EIN# for the Emergency Assistance Foundation is 45-1813056.
