About the Fund

Established in 1992, almost $5 million has been distributed to more than 8,700 dealership employees in need.

When disaster strikes, the Foundation:

  • Immediately informs the state dealer association that the Foundation is prepared to help;

  • The state association gets the message to its dealers;

  • Dealers can apply for aid on behalf of their employees;

  • NADA picks up all administrative costs for this fund; and

  • All money donated to the Emergency Relief Fund goes directly to the dealership employees.
