Burlington Cares. I Care.

Now, more than ever, we strive to support our associates through life’s unexpected challenges. The Burlington Stores Associate Assistance Fund (AAF) is a cooperative program funded by Burlington associates, for Burlington associates to offer monetary assistance in their time of greatest need.

The program provides financial grants of a minimum of $1,000 and up to $2,500 to eligible associates for a number of qualifying events, including: natural disaster such as flood, tornado, hurricane, severe storms, or other severe weather events; damage to or destruction of primary residence following an unforeseen natural disaster or qualifying event; victim of a violent crime; domestic abuse; unplanned or unforeseen military deployment; death of an associate or immediate family member; and other qualifying events.

Grants are tax free and never need to be paid back.

Make a Donation

The most convenient way to donate is through an automatic regular payroll contribution of as little as $1 per paycheck, set up through Workday. Associates will also have the option of making donations via check, credit card, or PayPal through the AAF website. 100% of every associate donation will go to an associate in need.
