Everyone Experiences Tough Times

 

Sometimes asking for help can be the hardest part. AMN Healthcare has partnered with the Dallas Foundation, a non-profit 501(c) organization to create the AMN Healthcare’s Caring for Caregivers grant program. This program allows AMN Healthcare clinicians experiencing extreme financial hardship due to a qualifying event, such as natural disaster, death, or serious illness or injury, to apply for non-taxable grant assistance. Our grants, with awards of up to $5,000, are meant to help you and your immediate family members who are severely impacted by financial stress related to a qualified, crisis event. Grants do not need to be paid back and are our way of letting you know that we appreciate the efforts you’ve made working for the company.
