The Assistance Fund was established in 2001, following the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, as a public charity designed to raise funds to assist the surviving spouse and dependents who require disaster relief or hardship assistance as a result of the untimely death or disability of a family member in the exchange community. At the time of the death or disability, the individual had to be a current CME, CBOT, NYMEX or COMEX member, an employee of a CME, CBOT, NYMEX or COMEX member, an employee of an exchange member firm, or a CME Group employee. Recent proof of financial need must accompany the application.
Funds are raised on an as-needed basis and solicited through word of mouth.
This tax-exempt vehicle enables both the person in need and the generous donors to utilize the tax advantages of a public charity.
