Family Care - Floyd's Barbershop
Family Care Fund
In 2019, Floyd's 99 Barbershop established the Floyd’s 99 Foundation. Our mission is simple: to make a difference in communities across the nation. From supporting research for life-threatening diseases to lending a hand during local emergencies, we're here to help.
At the heart of the Foundation lies the Family Care Fund, a beacon of support for Floyd's Barbershop employees in times of need. Guided by the unwavering belief of our Co-Founders, Paul, Bill, and Rob O’Brien, we ensure every staff member has a place to turn for help when they need it most (unfortunately employees of our franchise partners are not yet eligible).
The Family Care Fund assists Floyd's Barbershop staff who have a sudden and/or unforeseen financial emergency due to a catastrophic event or emergency hardship. The event must be sudden, unusual, identifiable, and must be damaging to property or have caused injury to an employee. Examples of qualified events include funeral expenses, urgent medical expenses, damage to housing or contents due to fire, flood, or other catastrophic event that is not covered by insurance. Please keep scrolling down the page for more info.
Applying For Funds

Application Requirements
- The emergency must have taken place within three months of the date of the application.
- The application must be supported by documentation, such as a doctor’s bill, eviction notice, or repair statement.
- Because the Fund is closely regulated by the IRS, the Fund Committee may request additional information to support the event to avoid the Foundation risking the loss of its tax-exempt status.

What events are eligible?
An emergency - events that create an immediate risk to your health, welfare, property or environment. Examples of emergencies could include a flood or fire in your apartment, an unexpected illness or accident where you have medical or car repair expenses, a child’s doctor bill, funeral expenses, emergency dental expenses or damage to your car resulting from an accident that are not otherwise covered by insurance. These are just examples and not meant to be the only types of events that will be considered.
What events are not eligible?
Events that are not emergencies and have taken place over a long period of time, such as falling behind in the payment of rent or a car payment, money to pay a credit card bill, buying new tires for your car, car repairs that are not due to an accident, or traffic tickets.
