Making a Genuine Impact on Staff Lives |
Your generous donations to the Staff Emergency Fund (SEF) have a profound impact on the lives of numerous staff members. These funds are specifically allocated to support our dedicated staff members who are facing temporary hardships resulting from significant life events.
An anonymous recipient had this to say about the program:
“The Staff Emergency Fund was used to cover parking fees and food for two months while my husband was in the hospital at M.D. Anderson in Houston. He was diagnosed with cancer in November, developed what M.D. Anderson was calling ‘super pneumonia’ in mid-February and was in the hospital until early April. He came home on hospice care and passed away in mid-April. This fund really helped me out during a very difficult time in my life and I greatly appreciate the assistance.”
Every dollar you give makes a difference. Please consider making a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation via payroll deduction by:

Remember, now through Aug. 31, the USC is hosting a scavenger hunt to raise awareness and generate financial contributions to the Staff Emergency Fund. All donations are matched dollar-for-dollar by the Office of the President, so your donation is doubled.
