Canary ??

Events like Hurricane Helene remind us of the critical need for fast financial relief after a disaster. One grantee shared how Grant Circle, their company’s relief fund, helped them stabilize after a previous storm. As we continue to assist those impacted by Hurricane Helene, we're reminded that having a program in place means faster, more direct support when it's needed most. We’re proud to help companies set up programs quickly, so employees can get back on their feet faster than ever. Let's make sure no one has to weather the storm alone. #naturaldisaster #disasterrelief #employeerelief #workerwellbeing

Grantee quotes like this remind us why we do what we do. When communities come together to support each other, incredible things can happen. Stories like this remind us of the impact the right money at the right time can provide. We’re proud to help organizations make this kind of impact every day. Together, we are strengthening the caring economy #CommunitySupport #CaringEconomy #FinancialWellbeing #EmployeeRelief #WorkerWellbeing #CanaryImpact

?? When emergency support becomes an everyday necessity ?? At Canary, we understand that for many, financial crises aren’t rare — they’re the norm. As Rachel Schneider highlights in her latest Fast Company article [?? in the comments], what we call "emergencies" are actually frequent challenges for half of American workers. While our product is often called an "emergency" relief fund, it’s really about providing consistent, compassionate support — day in and day out. Together, we can lead the way in building a “caring economy” where every worker has greater financial stability, today and tomorrow. #Leadership #FinancialStability #EmployeeWellbeing #CaringEconomy #WorkerWellbeing

?? Meet Rajib Singh, our new Director of Engineering! ?? We’re excited to welcome "Raj" to the Canary team! Based in Atlanta, Raj will lead our engineering efforts, driving forward the technology that powers emergency payments to individuals when they need it most. When he’s not engineering solutions, Raj enjoys reading, weightlifting, and walking his dog. With two children who refuse photos, he's moved on to his latest subject: Paris, the aforementioned dog, who *was not* named after Paris Hilton but rather the mythological figure in the story of the Trojan War. Finally, has been part of THREE startups that IPO'd. We can wait to see what's next for him at Canary! Join us in welcoming Raj to the team, and stay tuned for what’s ahead!

?? A week out from election results & there is one thing we can agree on: our communities need us?? As Rachel Schneider highlights in her latest FastCompany piece, workplaces are a critical part of our communities — and businesses play a critical role in strengthening the financial resilience of their teams. At a time when "almost half of Americans (46%) experience a financial emergency" in any 90-day period, according to LendingClub, supporting the day-to-day financial stability of your workforce is no longer a nice-to-have but a need-to-have. Let’s focus on what we can do today to create a more stable, caring economy for everyone. Learn more about how Canary's modern employee relief fund can be part of the solution and reach out to Casey Schreiber and Greg Henneman today.

?? How about a little palate cleanser this Election Day? ?? Today, as we cast our votes and look toward the future, let's take a moment to recognize the humanity that binds us. Reflecting on our shared desires to uplift our communities, support one another, and build a brighter world, we’ve gathered a few words from our grantees that highlight the compassion, resilience, and hope that come from investing in each other. Swipe through for a dose of inspiration from real-life grantees — and let’s hold on to what unites us.

Struggling with work-life balance often means more than just longer hours — it can negatively impact financial well-being too. As evidenced by the stats presented in Guardian Life's 2024 Mind, Body, and Wallet? report (?? in comments), it’s business critical to offer financial programs that support the whole employee, especially when life gets really, really hard. Together, we can build workplaces where balance and financial security are accessible to everyone. #WorkerWellbeing #EmployeeRelief #CanaryImpact #ShowYouCare

Providing quick, dignified financial relief is our way of standing by individuals when they need it most, so they don’t have to face their burdens alone. Seeing the resilience of these grantees reminds us why this work is so essential. Together, we can make a difference, one lifeline at a time. ?? #EmployeeRelief #WorkerWellbeing #CanaryImpact
