Storytelling resources

 

Where to find impact stories

As your program grows, collect stories from impacted individuals and from donors to the program  - your new Fund Advisor Dashboard makes it easy to identify employees willing to share! 2024.5.9 Portal Graphic

These testimonials are powerful for everyone: for those who have donated, those who are considering it, and those who have been impacted by disaster or hardship.

Testimonials will remind everyone in the company that this is more than just a place of business, it’s a community of connected individuals who care about one another’s well-being.

While you’re building your bank of internal testimonials, you can share some successes we have collected over the years. Find sample sample testimonials below. 

Recipient Testimonials

“This program has been more than helpful; it has been the light in a dark tunnel that I felt my life was spiraling down into. Just by simply helping my family become stable in the hard times of my adversity makes me want to cry tears of joy because I had no idea how I would have made it without the E4E Relief grant program. Thank you.”

Grant recipient

“This grant meant so much to me. My husband and I have been very stressed out and worried. Not only did this help my mental health, but it put food on the table for my children. I am forever grateful. Thank you for offering this to employees.”

Grant recipient

“I can't express enough how much I appreciate my employer offering this help and to everyone that has donated to help those in need. Times get hard for almost all of us, and it's nice to know we have somewhere to turn that isn't going to ultimately put us in a tougher situation or debt. Thank you for helping me regain stability and catch up on my bills after facing a lot of financial hardship that could have devastated my family without it.”

Grant recipient

"Every time there is a hurricane and a business has to close down for a couple of days, employees, who are often living paycheck-to-paycheck, lose their scheduled hours and income and have to incur additional expenses for hurricane preparedness. The stress that comes with this is terrible, and this is the first time in my life I've felt like somebody understands. This grant was a ray of light."

Grant recipient

“It helped immensely to get us back into a place to live. We were literally having to live within our car for a few nights until the grant allowed us to get moved into the apartment we currently reside in. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for the company offering assistance. Thank you.”

Grant recipient
