Simply put - this is a family effort by and for Limited Brands associates. The Associates for Associates Emergency Fund is an opportunity for associates to provide financial support to fellow associates through supplemental assistance in times of extreme financial hardship. In addition, the company matches all financial gifts dollar for dollar.

Since the fund was created in 2005, in response to Hurricane Katrina, the Associates for Associates Emergency Fund has paid out more than $668,000 in grants to hundreds of associates.

The fund is used to distribute monetary aid to our associates seeking assistance in times of extreme financial hardship as a result of a catastrophic event or severe personal crisis, such as fire damage to a home, a serious medical condition or a natural disaster.

To apply for a grant:

Home office, call center and distribution center associates should work with their supervisor or human resources partner, and stores associates should work directly with their manager to complete a Grant Consideration Form.
