Lockheed Martin Employee Disaster Relief Fund
With offices located around the nation and the globe, it is inevitable that Lockheed Martin employees will be affected by natural or terroristic disasters of a catastrophic nature.
Lockheed Martin has established a standing relief fund to assist employees based on an objective needs assessment in federally declared disaster areas or in the case of certain other disasters. The Lockheed Martin Employee Disaster Relief Fund (LMEDRF) (the Fund) was established in 2006. Since then, employees have contributed more than $6 million through the ongoing compassion to build up the funds in preparation for disasters.
Employees can learn more through LMPeople.
How the Fund works:
The Fund will be opened to respond to disasters under certain criteria. The Fund is intended to be used for short-term emergency assistance in the face of disaster.
The process is initiated when Lockheed Martin employees are impacted by a disaster that the U.S. President declares a major disaster - OR a disaster which results from a terroristic or military action, - OR - a disaster which results from an accident involving a common carrier (or from any other event which is determined by the U.S. IRS/Treasury Department to be of a catastrophic nature).
To contribute:
In addition to corporate contributions, employees may also contribute year-round to the Fund through payroll deduction, vacation donation and check. Employees can visit the Charitable Contributions and Vacation Donation link in the Community Involvement section of LMPeople to learn more.
