Learn more about your impact
Staff Council is and always will be a place to provide support for staff. One of the ways that we support staff is through our Staff Helping Staff fund. Originating with a need that a previous Staff Council member identified, this initiative offers funds that staff can apply for if they encounter a financial hardship that they are not equipped to deal with. The act of giving isn't just about the monetary value; it's about showing someone they are not alone in their struggles. It can boost their morale, provide emotional support and strengthen the bonds within our staff community. Your generosity reminds staff in need on all campuses that they're not alone.

The success of our university and the futures of our students rest squarely upon the shoulders of our staff members here at ASU. Working tirelessly to ensure metrics are met and people are seen and heard is a demanding proposition for most, but ASU’s staff members meet that challenge head on. The Staff helping Staff fund started by a former staff member, extends financial gifts to assist staff members at times struggling to make ends meet during crisis situations. Your generous gift, through this fund will ensure a staff member is given the help they need when they need it most."
