You may not be able to financially reward a group of people who stepped up and did something important.
You can look them in the eye and say, "Thank you," slowly and sincerely.
You can put a note in their personnel file about their heroism.
You can even do this and buy them a pizza or two (depending upon thje size of the group) to thank them for doing something terrific.
Let's see. In New York City, a pizza with a bunch of stuff on it easily costs under $20. That's a lot less than a bonus.
And even less expensive is a simple sincere thank you.
Do them both; encourage management to do them both, too.
