UCI Staff Relief Fund

For employees, the University of California Irvine isn't just a workplace, it's a community. And in times of crisis, a community offers support. UC Irvine’s Staff Relief Fund allows employees at both the UCI Irvine campus and UCI Health an opportunity to help co-workers in need.

If you'd like to support your fellow UC Irvine and UCI Health employees, consider contributing to the UCI Staff Relief Fund.

Details on how employees can access assistance will be shared as funds become available.

What is the UCI Staff Relief Fund?

The UCI Staff Relief Fund provides financial assistance and resource recommendations for UC Irvine employees, at the campus and UCI Health, who are experiencing an immediate, severe and temporary financial situation due to an emergency or unforeseen or unavoidable event.

The UCI Staff Relief Fund is intended to assist employees with immediate, essential expenses by providing a one-time distribution of funds up to a maximum of $500. The fund will be available to eligible staff based on need and a set of eligibility criteria. The hardship must be temporary – an employee with long-standing financial challenges will not meet the temporary hardship requirement. The UCI Staff Relief Fund is not designed to address ongoing financial challenges and is not a loan that requires the funds to be reimbursed.

The UCI Staff Relief Fund is funded through the generous donations of the UCI community and others who are interested in supporting employees who are in financial need due to an unplanned circumstance.

*Please note: The UCI Staff Relief Fund is subject to change at any time and without notice. In the event of cancellation of this program, any remaining funds at the time of cancellation will be directed by the UCI Chancellor to UCI purposes that the Chancellor deems to be most consistent with the UCI Staff Relief Fund.
