What is the Cox Employee Disaster Relief Fund?
The Cox Employee Disaster Relief Fund (CEDRF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization funded by generous donations from your fellow Cox employees, Cox companies and others to provide emergency relief when a disaster strikes. CEDRF provides financial assistance to employees with sudden, overwhelming, unexpected needs resulting from a disaster that cannot be met through personal resources, public programs (such as FEMA or the Red Cross), or other sources.
What type of help does CEDRF provide?
Grants may be awarded to cover expenses resulting from a catastrophe caused by a natural disaster or national emergency. Two types of assistance are provided:
(1) Immediate Cash Assistance – Cash cards may be provided to help meet urgent cash needs that arise immediately following a disaster.
(2) Disaster Relief Assistance – Funds to assist with unanticipated, urgent needs resulting from a disaster that cannot be met through personal resources, public programs (such as Red Cross shelters), governmental programs (such as FEMA), or Cox Enterprises programs.
How to submit your application:
Your application for assistance should be submitted through your HR representative.
