UMBC is pleased to announce the launch of  UMBC Cares Faculty and Staff Emergency Fund. The fund was established to assist eligible employees experiencing an emergency financial need. Emergencies could include food, housing, caregiving expenses, reduction or loss of household income due to furloughs or layoffs, and/or unexpected emergencies compounded by the impact of the current public health emergency. The fund is available for emergencies and financial hardship resulting from any circumstances and will continue to be a resource once the current crisis has passed.

Information regarding the application process can be found here. 

Donations to the fund can be made by visiting the UMBC Grit & Greatness Campaign page.
