What is the Employee Crisis Fund?

Part of the money raised by the San Diego County Employees' Charitable Organization (CECO) is allocated to a special fund so that employees and retirees of County of San Diego and Superior Court have a place to turn to when they need help.

The Crisis Fund assists employees and retirees experiencing a “one-time financial crisis.” Applicants are expected to have met their basic needs, as well as any dependents’ needs, from their own resources prior to the current crisis. When the crisis is over, the applicants must again be able to meet the basic needs of their family.

The decision to grant funds is based on the following: the applicant’s eligibility, the applicant’s need, and the circumstances underlying the lack of resources.
