WHAT'S THE DONOHOE UNITED FUND?
To date, 76 employees have been awarded a total of $38,000 in grants from the Donohoe United Fund. The Donohoe United Fund was formed this year to help employees experiencing extraordinary hardship due to COVID-19. Through tax-deductible employee donations made to the Donohoe United Fund, tax-free grants are being made to other Donohoe employees who have been impacted by COVID-19, including a decrease in wages or loss of employment. America's Charities (a 501(c)3 nonprofit with 40 years of proven charitable funds management expertise) reviews, verifies and operates the Donohoe United Fund. Click here for more info.
