hardship funds

Emergency financial assistance

Hardship funds are pools of money set aside to help people facing financial emergencies—unexpected job loss, medical bills, or other crises.

Universities maintain hardship funds for students who can't make tuition or rent.

Employers and charitable organizations offer them too: She applied to the hardship fund after her hours were cut.
