Support the CRISIS Program Gift Fund
The CRISIS Program (Crisis Relief in Situations Involving Staff/Faculty) helps UK employees facing personal hardship. The program is primarily funded by staff and faculty donations, and is vitally important for staff and faculty who need immediate assistance for an emergency such as:
- Threat of essential utilities being turned off at their primary residence
- Loss of dwelling or household furnishings due to fire, act of nature or eviction notice at their primary residence
- A major unexpected expense
Your gift can make a huge difference in the life of a UK employee who needs some extra support. Make your gift today!

- I cannot tell you how grateful I am for your help. I’ve been so scared that I’m going to lose my place. You have no idea how relieved I am. I couldn’t stop crying. Thank you all so much!
- Oh my! This is the best news I have received all day. I can’t thank you enough for looking into this and working with me. When I am able to, I will donate to this fund.
- Thank you so much, and please relay thanks to the committee, and thanks for the CRISIS program. I am so grateful! I’ll be able to recalibrate at the end of the month and be current with all my bills going into October. It would have been hard times without this assistance, and I am truly thankful.
- This is the biggest blessing right now and I cannot thank you, the Committee, and the university enough for your efforts to uplift those in need. I can’t wait to return the favor when I’m back on my feet!
