UNITE HERE EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FUND

UNITE HERE Education and Support Fund is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable fund affiliated with the UNITE HERE union that focuses on emergency relief, workforce development, and training for hospitality industry workers. The fund’s activities include direct cash and food aid, grants and scholarships for training programs, and support for apprenticeship and up‑skilling initiatives that benefit low-income workers in hotels, food service, airports, and related hospitality sectors. In response to the COVID-19 crisis the fund played a central role in the union’s recovery efforts, raising and distributing direct relief to hospitality families and supporting programs that helped members retain or regain access to health benefits and job training. The organization files annual Form 990 returns and is recorded in federal nonprofit registries under EIN 52-2351515, with recent filings showing continued grant-making activity and net assets in the low‑million dollar range. The fund is an active, donor-facing charity that accepts contributions through UNITE HERE’s public channels and continues to support union-led campaigns and local training partners to improve employment outcomes and worker stability in the hospitality industry.
