Emergency Relief Fund
The NADA Emergency Relief Fund provides financial assistance for dealership employees impacted by natural disasters. Dealership employees receive funds to help them get back to their day-to-day lives before insurance money arrives, and sometimes before ATMs are up and running. Often, they use ERF grants to buy food, diapers and clothes to return to school or work — basic items some may take for granted.
Apply for Assistance
The NADA Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund (ERF) provides financial help for auto and truck dealership employees who have been affected by natural disasters. Complete the application form below. Please note that only estimated damages to a dealership employee's primary residence are eligible for reimbursement, minus government assistance, insurance coverage and other assistance. Reimbursement is capped at $1,500 per individual. A signature by the dealer or authorized representative is required before an application may be processed.
Donate to the Fund
Thanks to the generous support of dealers and industry partners, beneficiaries receive funds to help them get back on their feet usually before insurance payments arrive. It should be noted that 100% of donations go directly to recipients, with the Foundation taking care of administrative fees.
When natural disasters hit, we're reminded that auto dealers are good neighbors. Please consider making a donation to the Fund to help our dealership families.
The NADA Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and donations to the Emergency Relief Fund are tax deductible.
