FirstService Relief Fund Surpasses $2 Million in Employee Grants

Supporting Our Team Members in Times of Need

At FirstService, our greatest strength has always been our people. Since its inception, the FirstService Relief Fund has embodied our company’s unwavering commitment to supporting employees facing unexpected hardships. In 2025 we achieved a remarkable milestone: the Fund has now awarded over $2 million in grants to team members in need, making a meaningful difference in the lives of our FirstService family.

Making a Lasting Impact

The FirstService Relief Fund was established to provide immediate financial assistance to employees experiencing unforeseen emergencies, such as medical crises, natural disasters, or other personal hardships. We know hardships can happen to any of us, at any time and each grant offers more than just financial aid—it is a testament to the compassion and generosity of our team members.
From helping a team member rebuild after a house fire to supporting families through serious illnesses, these grants have enabled recipients to focus on recovery and well-being without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

How the Fund Works

The FirstService Relief Fund is made possible through generous contributions from our employees. FirstService covers all administrative costs and fees ensuring every dollar donated goes to help a colleague in need. Eligible employees may apply for grants ranging from $500-$3000 to help them during times of financial hardship. The most common reasons people apply for help are serious illness/injury, non-routine medical and death. The confidential application process is straightforward, and 24/7 support is available for those needing assistance completing theirs. Employees must apply within 180 days of their “qualified event” and they may receive up to two grants within a 12-month period.

Join Us in Giving Back

The continued success of the Relief Fund relies on the collective generosity of our community. Whether you’re able to contribute financially or simply spread the word, every effort helps sustain this vital resource. Together, we can ensure that no team member faces hardship alone.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the FirstService Relief Fund. Surpassing $2 million in grants is just the beginning—we look forward to building an even stronger, more caring community in the years ahead.
