Strengthen employee wellness with charitable emergency payments
Strengthen community financial well-being with charitable emergency payments
We partner with organizations of all types and sizes to deliver emergency funds to the people who need it most in their communities. From Fortune 500 employers to community foundations to family-run businesses, we offer Grant Circle, a low-lift, high-impact solution for reducing financial stress and supporting financial wellness initiatives.
Together, let’s give your community access to critical financial support in times of crisis.
It’s Not Just Good People Sense. It‘s Great Business Sense.
Investing in an employee relief fund is a smart people decision that solves a common root cause of poor employee well-being: financial instability. Access to dignified, equitable emergency payments gives employees a resource they both want and need today.
Help your people get back on their feet and their minds off their money with Grant Circle, Canary’s employee relief fund.
The right money at the right time matters when:
- 63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and over 60% of households experience a financial hardship each year.
- 49% of employees struggle to afford household essentials each month.
- Over 65M Americans can’t afford a $400 unexpected expense.
- 73% of financially stressed employees say they would be attracted to another employer that cares more about their financial well-being.
People are struggling financially and looking for employers to help beyond traditional benefits. These struggles cause tremendous stress that distract employees from work. With Grant Circle, your company can offer direct help during sudden, destabilizing emergencies.
It’s more cost-effective to offer a tangible solution in the face of financial hardship than to deal with the financial fallout of unresolved financial stress.
Employee relief matters for the bottom line
- 4 work weeks are lost to a financially stressed employee dealing with personal finances.
- It costs more than $7k to replace an employee that quits due to financial crisis.
- Companies lose $4.7B/week in productivity due to employee financial stress.
