Charitable Fund

The Charitable Fund is a non-profit corporation that is funded by donations from AISD employees and administered by a Board of Directors. AISD provides a meeting place for the Board, and the AISD Finance and Human Resources departments provide free accounting and clerical support to the corporation.

The Fund exists to help AISD employees through difficult financial situations such as:
  1. Expenses due to critical illness or injury.
  2. Expenses due to death or burial of a person eligible for assistance.
  3. Expenses due to catastrophic property losses that are NOT covered by insurance.
Other qualifying reasons:
  1. Illnesses or hardship that would likely be life-threatening medically, or would likely have life-long financial consequences or otherwise prevent the employee from coming to work for a significant period of time.
  2. The event would be something that the employee could not have reasonably anticipated or prevented.
