Care That Comes Back Around

Full-time, part-time, and contract Baptist Health team members who have experienced an unexpected financial hardship may be eligible. Eligibility is based on employment status, length of service, and the nature of the hardship. Your hospital's TMBF Coordinator can help you determine whether your situation qualifies before you formally apply.

The fund is designed for unforeseen hardships such as house fires, natural disasters, serious illness, or the death of an immediate family member. It is not intended for ongoing financial difficulties or situations that could have been anticipated. Each application is reviewed individually to ensure the fund serves those with the most immediate need.

The fund provides one-time financial assistance. Award amounts vary based on the nature and severity of the hardship, available fund resources, and individual circumstances. The full guidelines outline the parameters for assistance. Your TMBF Coordinator can give you a clearer picture of what to expect based on your situation.

Begin by contacting your hospital's TMBF Coordinator. They will verify your eligibility, walk you through the required documentation, and help you submit your application. You do not apply directly through the Foundation. All requests are processed through your hospital's designated coordinator to ensure a consistent and confidential review process.

Yes. All applications and award decisions are handled with strict confidentiality. Only those directly involved in the review and approval process will have access to your information. Baptist Health Foundation is committed to treating every applicant with dignity and discretion.

The Team Member Benevolence Fund is designed as a one-time resource for crisis situations. Previous recipients may be considered again in the future under certain circumstances, but the fund prioritizes team members who have not previously received assistance. Review the full bylaws for specific details, or speak with your TMBF Coordinator for guidance.
