It\u2019s\na New Year and There is More Need Than Ever for Contributions!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is first quarter of 2019\nand the RABF has already made $14,000 in distributions this year.  In 2018, the Recovery Agents Benefit Fund\ndisbursed over $60,000 to repossession industry families in need due to a variety\nof circumstances from serious auto work related auto accidents where the\nemployer didn\u2019t carry workers comp, repossessors being shot and injured,\nfamilies who lost their sole source of income when someone died from cancer or\nheart issues and families who needed assistance with burial costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These circumstances\ndemonstrate why the RABF is so important, but should also serve as a reminder\nto employers and employees alike regarding the importance of doing everything\none can to find a way to have insurance coverage for these types of events.  The Recovery Agents Benefit Fund cannot serve\nas a substitute for workers compensation or life insurance; and our ability to\nhelp the industry is dependent upon the support of the industry, which in\nleaner times decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RABF needs the\ncontinuous and on-going support of the industry it serves but very few\nindividuals or companies give to the RABF on a regular basis without any\nexpectation of something in return.  In\nthe heat of the moment and excitement of an event, many are quick to buy raffle\ntickets or bid on auction items; but few are the supporters who commit on a\nregular basis to donating.  Did you know\nyou can set up regular recurring\ndonations through PayPal<\/strong>?  Go to the\nMake A Donation link on our website www.recoveryagentsbenefitfund.com<\/a>\nto get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Recovery Service\/PK\nWillis became the RABF\u2019s first monthly client contributor last year and they\nhave stayed true to their word with making a $500 donation every month.  GM Financial remains a loyal supporter of the\nfund with their $3000 annual donation. \nAt the 2018 PARNorth America Agent event, PAR quadrupled their previous\nyear\u2019s donation with an astounding $40,000 check generated from the live\nauction event and vendor support.  We are\nwaiting for word on the final figures from the Primeritus Agent Meeting held in\nthe fall 2018, but remain optimistic that repossession agents who participated\nin this event showed up strong in support of the RABF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just think if every\nrepossessor, nationwide, were to donate say\u2026 $10 per month or per pay period to\nthe RABF.  Funds would be coming in on a\nregular basis and the Recovery Agents Benefit Fund would stand ready to help\nwhen needed.  We would not be majorly dependent\non the trade show season to sell raffle tickets or the generosity of a few\norganizations who may choose the RABF as their charitable organization of\nchoice for that year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2019 will in all probability\nbe the year that the Recovery Agents Benefit Fund exceeds the milestone mark of\nhaving donated over half a million dollars to the industry.  It is unfortunate that so many in this\nindustry are unable to 1) protect their employees or 2) prepare for the\nunexpected themselves; but it is extremely fortunate that the RABF can be there\nto help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em><\/strong>I’m speechless to the generosity of\nyall at RABF.. this will help me and my kids SO MUCH!!!! Thank you…\u201d  – Eric (Feb 2019)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em><\/strong>Thank you so much for the\nquick reply and generous help to Eric and his children. We as an organization\nhave always been advocates for the RABF and this only cements our belief in the\nfund and the good work it does.  Thank\nyou again \u2013 We are all moved by the generous donation!\u201d \u2013 Paige (Feb 2019)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWords cannot express how appreciative\nwe are for the benefit of this fund and all the efforts to ease some of the\nburden on a victim’s family\u201d \u2013 Cindy (Jan 2018)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recovery Agents Benefit\nFund is a 100% volunteer organization, with no one involved in the fund drawing\nany sort of salary or compensation.  We\nare recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 Charitable Organization.  Administrative costs to operate the fund\naccount for 4% to 5% of total funds collected; meaning 95% or more of what we\nreceive we are able to give back to the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all those who have\ndonated in the past, your support and generosity are greatly appreciated.  To those who may just be learning about the\nRABF, one time or recurring donations can be made via PayPal at our website (www.recoveryagentsbenefitfund.org<\/a>),\nor can be mailed to RABF, PO Box 4102, Manassas, VA 20108.\n\nTo those who have heard of\nthe RABF, but have not donated, we ask you \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
