Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley: COVID-19 Community Response Fund

About

In an effort to provide a coordinated philanthropic response to the current COVID-19 health and economic crisis, the United Way of Kanakee and Iroquois Counties and the Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley have launched the Kankakee & Iroquois Counties COVID-19 Community Response Fund.

The region's health and human service organizations are experiencing a surge in demand for services from neighbors and communities significantly impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic. It's critical that these nonprofits have resources to continue to operate at the highest capacity.

Every donation to this community fund will impact and support the organizations that are ensuring our neighbors can access basic needs in this time of crisis. Together, the United Way and the Community Foundation will rapidly deploy resources to eligible organizations.
The Community Foundation of Kankakee River Valley made an initial commitment of $10,000 and will match up to $100,000 in donations to the Fund.
