Bill Greehey, Chairman of NuStar Energy, created the SAFE Fund Program to help employees going through tough times. The grants do not have to be repaid so they truly are a godsend for employees facing a hardship.
NuStar Energy has provided $470,000 in SAFE Fund grants to employees since inception. Grants have been given to employees for a wide range of hardships, such as repairs after a natural disaster, serious health issues, sick parents, legal troubles, and an unexpected death in the family.
