IEC Foundation Disaster Relief Fund
Program Mission:
The IEC Foundation Disaster Relief Fund provides timely and supportive assistance to
IEC association members, apprentices, chapters, staff, and their families in times of
need and crisis from natural disasters and devastating events. Our mission is to
address immediate needs, short term burdens and alleviate distress for those affected
by disasters, while fostering resilience to allow and enable them to focus on response,
recovery and maintaining organizational continuity.
Program Purpose:
Disaster relief aims to help individuals and families in crisis while also supporting local
chapters and members to maintain operations within the communities they serve. While
often associated with large scale disasters that impact entire regions, disaster relief
efforts also extend to tragedies that are not widespread but still have significant impacts
on the affected individuals or communities.
Award Exclusions:
IEC Foundation Disaster Relief Grants provide essential support for expenses that are
not covered by insurance policies or other forms of donations. The focus of IECF
Disaster relief is on providing support for immediate disaster related needs such as
community resources, essential supplies, and shelter.
Award Criteria:
Medical expenses, funeral expenses and are strictly prohibited from Disaster Relief
Awards. Applications for Disaster Relief are awarded at the sole discretion of the current
reviewers. Present need, current available funds and specific circumstances of each
application are considered during the review and award process. Each application
decision is granted on an individual basis.
Application Process:
Disaster Relief Fund Applications may only be submitted through the direct referral of
an IEC Chapter in Good Standing. The chapter must request the link which must be
submitted to apply for funds. All applications will be approved or denied within 30 days
of submission. All committee award decisions are final.

With proceeds from the Home Depot Rewards Program, our Board has voted to provide funding supporting the
development and improvement of IEC training centers’ labs and classrooms. The intent of this grant is to upgrade the
educational experience of both apprentices and continuing education attendees. Funding is intended to be a
resource outside of normal operations and the IECF equipment grant program.
