Tipalti, the global payables automation solution, announced that charitable emergency financial relief provider E4E Relief has joined its customer base.
E4E Relief selected Tipalti “to help the organization support the well-being of individuals worldwide by expediting the distribution of much-needed funds during some of the hardest times of people’s lives.”
Founded in 2001, E4E Relief reportedly “offers a unique workforce solution to companies, allowing them to put their people first by delivering grants quickly and efficiently to support employees and other stakeholders during times of disaster or hardship.”
Serving more than 50 Fortune 500 companies, E4E Relief has “distributed grants totaling more than $220 million in the past three years alone.”
Operating on a global scale, E4E Relief was faced “with a unique set of challenges and risks which required a seasoned and respected provider to join its existing network of payment solutions.”
In 2021, E4E Relief selected Tipalti “as one of its global payments partners to scale its work internationally and continue providing relief to those in need with optimum security and efficiency.”
With Tipalti, E4E Relief can now “diversify its payment options and increase the speed of disbursement in all currencies, a capability that was crucial in the organization’s 2022 Ukraine relief efforts.”
Utilizing Tipalti as the lead payments partner, E4E Relief “delivered more than $1 million in relief to Ukraine in a matter of days versus weeks, profoundly impacting individuals and families.”
The nonprofit has since “incorporated Tipalti’s automated solutions into its work more broadly, and as a result, awarded a total of $60 million to individuals in need around the world in 2022.”
Holly Welch Stubbing, President & CEO of E4E Relief, said:
“Disasters and hardships affect people all around the world, and in the wake of these crises, timing is everything. We need to deliver relief to affected individuals efficiently and securely, all while ensuring a compassionate experience for the people we are helping. Tipalti enables us to do just that and provide vital financial support within one business day regardless of geographical location.”
Jeannie Sabaroff, VP of Digital Economy at Tipalti, said:
“Technology is more than just a useful tool. It has the power to do good and impact human lives in a meaningful way. Payments go beyond transactions, and it’s an honor to support E4E Relief’s commitment to providing relief when and where it’s needed as soon as possible.”
Beyond supporting individuals impacted by disaster, E4E Relief also “offers charitable relief grants to those experiencing personal hardships, including short-term illness, loss of life, domestic abuse, vehicle accident, violent or non-violent crime, loss of job and unscheduled loss of child support or alimony.”
Furthermore, in a soon-to-be-released report, E4E Relief found “a strong correlation between providing emergency financial relief and increased financial and mental well-being, productivity, engagement and loyalty among the members of a company’s workforce.”
