The Settlers Cares Foundation was created to help employees or affiliates who are facing financial hardship due to unexpected life events. The goal is to provide short-term, emergency support to employees or eligible dependents. As a non-profit, Settlers Cares Foundation will rely primarily on individual donations from employees, affiliates and support from Settlers Hospitality. Each contribution to the Foundation will help provide a tax-free grant to employees in need due to a sudden hardship such as natural disaster or illness.
