Feds Helping Feds: FEEA Offers Millions in Emergency Loans and Scholarships to Federal Employees
Wednesday, August 15, 2012(National Federation of Federal Employees)
As union
sisters and brothers, we understand that there
is strength in working together toward common
goals. In this spirit NFFE was a founding
member of the Federal Employee Education and
Assistance Fund (FEEA), the only organization
dedicated solely to helping federal workers and
their families with emergency assistance
and scholarships.
Since that day in 1986, FEEA has given millions to federal workers in need. In the last five years alone, FEEA has been able to:
-
Assist over 1,900 feds affected by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike during the summer of 2008. More than $870,000 in grants was provided;
-
More than triple the rate at which it no-interest loans are being extended to federal employees. This increase is directly related to the financial difficulties feds are experiencing in the economic downturn;
-
Provide more than $2.5 million in emergency no-interest loans to federal employees'
-
Reach a total of over $8.7 million in emergency financial assistance and more than $11 million in scholarships.
All of
this good work has been made possible through
donations to the CFC by federal workers like
yourselves. We urge you to continue doing your
part to deliver a better tomorrow to our fellow
federal workers, and consider donating to FEEA
(#11185). Learn more at http://www.feea.org/cfc.
