Lippert Components, Inc. launched the Lippert Cares Foundation, a nonprofit for Lippert team members experiencing unforeseen financial hardships.
The Lippert Cares Foundation is a nonprofit organization providing resources for Lippert employees experiencing unforeseen circumstances. Through the Lippert Cares Foundation, employees can apply for financial assistance by way of the Hardship Program or Emergency Assistance Program.
“When people hear the word ‘Lippert’, they may initially think ‘RV’ or ‘marine,’ but what I want them to think is ‘people,’” said Jason Lippert, president and CEO of Lippert. “Lippert is in the business of caring about people, and the launch of the Lippert Cares Foundation will enable us to walk more closely beside our team members during hard times that would otherwise be devastating for their families. We would not be where we are without the hard work and dedication of our people, and the foundation is an additional way for us to show we care.”
The foundation primarily will be funded by voluntary staff donations and a portion from Lippert. Michilah Grimes, director of corporate and community impact, said the foundation launched six years ago after the death of Lippert’s Jack Bond. The foundation now will provide financial relief to all employees in need.
“The foundation is excited to have hired Janelys Taylor, who is bi-lingual and whose sole focus will be ensuring the process for team members is as efficient as possible, seeing that they are already experiencing hardship,” Grimes said. “It is all about helping people be happier and healthier. If we can help them with something they are experiencing outside of our walls, I truly believe it can be life-changing, and they will pass along the kindness.”
