Disaster Relief for CFA Members

Our minds and hearts are focused on our fellow CSU colleagues and CFA siblings affected by fires in Southern California. For those impacted, we also wanted to remind you at this difficult time of a benefit we offer CFA members.

The Disaster Relief Fund provides limited financial resources to support CFA members who have experienced hardship as a result of disasters such as fires, floods, and earthquakes. The goal of this fund is not to replace insurance or governmental assistance, but to provide a supplemental reimbursement for those unusual costs which often stretch our budgets. The fund is reimbursement based so receipts/documentation are required.

“The Disaster Relief Fund is purposely set aside to help our members,” said Vang Vang, CFA Treasurer and Fresno State librarian. “We are a union of members, but we are people first and foremost with families and responsibilities. If you need it, just apply. It’s not much but it will help with the basics and sometimes, that’s enough.”

Members can find assistance and eligibility details on CFA’s Disaster Relief Fund and complete the application form.
