The United Airlines Employees' Relief Fund is a non-profit, tax-exempt charitable organization that was created by employees to help other employees suffering from a hardship. Fueled mostly by employee donations, the program offers short-term support to fellow employees, retirees and eligible dependents who suffer losses from natural disasters and personal tragedies.

The United Airlines Employees' Relief Fund provides confidential, timely, short-term crisis relief for those in the United family who need basic assistance unavailable through other resources.
