The MDI Bio Lab Employee Emergency Fund

The MDI Biological Laboratory Emergency Fund is a financial assistance program for members of the MDI Bio Lab community facing crisis. The fund is sustained through donor and employee contributions, and funding is made available as donations are received.

At MDI Bio Lab, we take care of each other — not just in the lab, but in life. The Employee Emergency Fund exists to help our colleagues when unexpected challenges arise.

Every year, this fund provides essential support to members of our MDI Bio Lab community facing sudden financial hardship. Past uses have included:

  • Housing emergencies – covering a security deposit to secure housing

  • Fuel emergencies – helping to keep homes warm during the winter

  • Auto emergencies – paying for urgent vehicle repairs

  • Medical emergencies – offsetting unexpected healthcare costs

  • Visa emergencies – supporting international staff affected by administrative changes

Your contribution makes a real difference. A gift to the Employee Emergency Fund means direct, immediate support for your coworkers when they need it most — and a reminder that no one at MDI Bio Lab stands alone.
