What are the Carpenters' Fringe Benefit Trust Funds?
The Carpenters' Fringe Benefit Trust Funds consist of a Health and Welfare Fund, a Pension Fund, and a Vacation Fund. Each Trust Fund is a not-for-profit organization under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidelines. The purpose of each Fund is to provide specific benefits to eligible members of the Carpenters' Union. As a not-for-profit Trust under federal law, all assets of the Funds must be used to provide those benefits.

Who is in charge of administering the Benefit Trust Funds?
Each Benefit Trust Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is made up of one-half Employers and one-half Labor Representatives. They are responsible for overseeing the financial strength of the plan, making sure the plan complies with all applicable laws and regulations, and for determining the benefits available for eligible participants.

The Benefit Office handles the day-to-day operations of the Funds. Over 60 employees serve the membership of the Carpenters' Union. Their responsibility is to administer the benefits as directed by the Board of Trustees and to provide the membership with the best service possible.
