| USGS EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND |
In the wake of the devastation left by Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf Coast coped with destruction and
loss of life that was difficult to comprehend. We have all heard heartbreaking stories from individuals
who live and work in the areas touched by the hurricane. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) employees
from all over the country generously asked how to donate money to fellow USGS employees who
were coping with this tragedy. Since federal agencies cannot conduct fundraising, other than
through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), we established a USGS Emergency Relief Fund
through the Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund (FEEA), a participating CFC
organization.
This FEEA administered fund is specifically for assisting USGS Employees during emergencies and
allows individuals to voluntarily contribute monies and designate them for the USGS Emergency
Relief Fund. USGS employees facing emergencies, such as those affected by Hurricane Katrina,
can apply for assistance through FEEA in the form of grants and no-interest loans, depending on the
severity of need. The Fund remains available to assist USGS employees as needs arise.
Donations to the fund are tax deductible to the full extent of the law and may be made by:
Sending a check to: FEEA USGS FUND, 8441 W. Bowles Avenue, Suite 200, Littleton, CO 80123-
9501.
Credit card on FEEA’s web site www.feea.org or by calling FEEA at 303-933- 7580.
