Seabrook Island Club Employee Assistance Fund

The Employee Assistance Fund was created in 2023 to be of assistance to the many employees of the Seabrook Island Club, and eventually to eligible employees of the Seabrook Island Property Owners' Association and the Town of Seabrook Island. The fund is supported by donations and by various fundraising events held by the Fund.Seabrook Island Employee Assistance FundThe Seabrook Island Employee Assistance Fund helps employees who are experiencing economic hardship and are unable to afford housing, utilities, and other basic living needs because of a natural disaster; life threatening illness or injury; death or other catastrophic or unforeseen circumstances. Awards may be made in the amount of the hardship up to $4,000. The maximum award is not guaranteed, and in many cases, a lesser amount will be awarded. All payments are made directly to vendors; no assistance funds will be sent directly to applicants and applicants will not be reimbursed. An employee can only be approved for assistance once within a six month period.
