In May 2022, AMN announced The AMN Caring for the Caregivers Fund to support AMN Healthcare Professionals who are experiencing a catastrophic and unexpected hardship that causes undue financial stress for qualified events.
Awarded grants are non-taxable.
Approved grants do not need to be repaid to AMN.
Active AMN healthcare professionals must meet the following eligibility criteria to apply, be considered for, or receive a grant from the Caring for the Caregivers fund:
- Actively employed by AMN and a minimum of 1 assignment for AMN or minimum of 180 worked hours.
- Have a work location based in the United States at the time of application submission
- Is not an AMN corporate employee
Eligible AMN healthcare professionals are limited to receiving a maximum of one (1) grant every calendar year, regardless of grant amount. Multiple grants for the same event are not permitted.
Additional information:
- Eligible AMN healthcare professionals on a protected Leave of Absence (LOA) are eligible to apply, be considered for, and/or receive a grant from the AMN Caring for Caregivers Fund.
- Healthcare professionals who join AMN through a company acquisition become eligible when they are integrated into AMN Human Capital records and timekeeping.
Different incurred costs associated with the qualified events below are open to grant consideration.
- Serious injury/illness
- Natural disaster including flood, wildfire, tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, blizzard, drought, cyclone, hurricane, or severe storm
- Disaster resulting from an accident involving a common carrier such as a bus, train, ferry, plane, or truck
- Impact to primary residence not paid by insurance
- Military deployment/ called to active duty
- Non-routine/ exceptional medical expenses
- Victim of a violent crime or domestic abuse

- Other qualifying emergency event or crisis (considered on a case-by- case basis)
Eligible healthcare professionals are limited to receive a maximum of one (1) grant per calendar year, regardless of grant amount. Multiple grants for the same event are not permitted.
Example: An eligible AMN healthcare professional experiences home damage in 2022 due to a hurricane, applies for a grant, and is approved based on the details of the event. The AMN healthcare professional cannot submit for additional grant awards for the same 2022 hurricane event.
Eligible healthcare professionals on a protected Leave of Absence (LOA) are eligible to apply, be considered for, and/or receive a grant from the AMN Caring for the Caregivers Fund.
Healthcare professionals who join AMN through a company acquisition become active for eligibility consideration when they are integrated into AMN Human Capital records.
Eligibility time frame/hours will be calculated from their company hire date, not the date they are integrated into AMN records and timekeeping.
Apply directly here. Before applying, you will need to create an account on the grant site using your personal email address. The site has been approved through the AMN IT Governance, Risk & Compliance process.
Applications must be submitted within 90 days after a qualifying event occurs.
The minimum amount for a qualifying event that can be requested is $500 and the maximum is $5,000.
The AMN Caring for the Caregivers Fund is administered by The Dallas Foundation (TDF) which is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, public, nonprofit organization which has authority under IRS regulations to administer Employee Hardship and Disaster Relief Funds.
The review committee is comprised of delegates from The Dallas Foundation and AMN Healthcare.
Once a complete application is submitted on the grant portal, it may take up to 15 business days for review, outcome, and payment for approved grant amounts to be processed.
Approved grant payments will pay directly to the healthcare professional via ACH to the individual’s personal bank account.
ACH bank information will be requested during the application review process.
