CARES Fund Receives National Recognition for Storytelling Excellence

In February, representatives from employee hardship fund organizations across the United States convened at the Hope Awards to recognize leadership and innovation in employee hardship and relief programs. The event celebrated the meaningful impact these programs have in supporting employees during some of life’s most challenging moments.

During the ceremony, Fresenius Medical care received a notable honor: the inaugural Storyteller of the Year Award. This new award recognizes organizations that use authentic, compelling testimonials to build trust, inspire hope, and strengthen engagement.

The judging panel highlighted the CARES Fund’s distinctive storytelling approach, commending the “successful use of video and written testimonials to build trust in the relief fund and encourage both applicant and donor engagement.” This recognition is a direct result of the courage of our grant recipients, who share their experiences to help others feel supported in seeking assistance —or inspired to donate.

Thank you for making this achievement possible. Your continued support enables the CARES Fund to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of colleagues facing crisis.

We encourage you to consider renewing or increasing your support for the CARES Fund, helping us continue telling the stories made possible by donors like you. Fresenius Medical Care matches every donation, doubling the impact of your contribution.
