About the Danone Employee Relief Fund 

The Danone North America Employee Relief Fund is a 501c3 IRS public charity, primarily supported by monetary contributions from Danoners. Through an application process, the fund grants financial assistance to Danoners who experience extreme financial hardship stemming from circumstances beyond their control. 

Danone Employee Relief Fund History 

After the Marshall Fires in Boulder County, CO in December 2021, Danone North America received an outpouring of support from employees. Many wanted to donate to Danoners who were impacted by the fires. A team convened to develop the program to support Danoners’ needs in times of extreme hardship. The Fund continues to provide assistance to employees to this day.
