What is the Lumber Industry Fund for Today (LIFT)?
LIFT is an industry-specific fund and member benefit established to provide immediate financial assistance and peer support to NRLA member employees impacted by a fire or natural disaster resulting in a loss of shelter.

I have an employee who has lost their home to a fire or natural disaster. How can LIFT help?
LIFT will provide up to $2,000 as a tax free, debt-free gift to your employee who has a qualifying loss. You will be asked to donate 25% of the gift, LIFT will cover the rest. Use of the gift is at the discretion of the employee for immediate needs such as food, clothing and shelter.

How can I support LIFT?
Through donations* or by volunteering your time.
Please make donations payable to:
LBMDF, c/o LIFT, 585 N. Greenbush Rd., Rensselaer, NY 12144.
*Donations may be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.
