Serving Those Who Serve Us

The New Hampshire Hospitality Employee Relief Fund is a nonprofit fund that provides one-time grants of up to $250 to hospitality employees experiencing a crisis like an illness or natural disaster. These grants cover housing, living, and medical expenses.

If you are in need of assistance, please review the eligibility requirements below and then complete the application form.

All grant requests will be reviewed on their merits by a committee comprised of the New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association Education Foundation and NHLRA board members on an as-needed basis.

Our goal is to help every employee, but our funding sources are limited. Please note that applications are not guarantees of funding. Funding continues to be on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who complete the application, its requirements, and meet all of the eligibility criteria.
