Impacted by Hurricane Ian? ARA Foundation can offer help

Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida on Sept. 28 with top winds that placed it just shy of the most devastating Category 5 hurricane status, causing catastrophic damage along the heavily populated Gulf Coast. The storm’s arrival just two days later in South Carolina caused further destruction. 

If your rental operation or your employees have been severely impacted by the hurricane, know that the ARA Foundation’s Disaster Relief Grants are here to assist.

Two types of grants are available:

• Business Disaster Relief Grants offer between $500 and $2,500. They are designed to help rental businesses rebuild.
• Employee Disaster Relief Grants range from $500 to $2,000. They can help employees get back on their feet. Business owners must apply for these grants on behalf of their employees.
