NADA Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund is ready to assist dealership employees impacted by the California wildfires.
The destruction and devastation created by the Southern California wildfires continues to impact communities, including the employees of dealerships within the affected areas. The NADA Foundation Foundation’s Emergency Relief Fund is ready to help dealership employees and their families who are experiencing loss.
“For more than a decade, the Emergency Relief Fund has helped dealership employees and their families weather all kinds of natural disasters and tragedies, from Hurricane Katrina and Harvey, to wildfires, tornadoes and floods,” said Sykora, who is a Ford dealer in West Texas and a former NADA chairwoman. “The foundation is ready to help dealership employees with needed financial assistance — and fast.”
NADA has been in contact with the California New Car Dealers Association about their members affected by the fires. Emergency grants up to $1,500 are given based on need and a sliding scale developed by the Foundation.
"The Association was deeply concerned to learn about the devastating (and still ongoing) wildfires in the southern part of our state,” said Brian Maas, CNCDA President. “We've been in touch with our dealer members and associates and have extended our support as they navigate keeping their employees safe and cared for through this crisis. CNCDA continues to communicate any essential information to our members and offer our assistance during this tragedy."
Damages incurred as a result of the fires that are not covered by insurance or government or other assistance are eligible for grants. Detailed information on the relief that is available, including the formal application for relief, can be located on the NADA Foundation website at https://www.nada.org/nada/emergency-relief-fund.
