To support community-based organizations on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak response, Essex County Community Foundation has announced the creation of the Essex County COVID-19 Response Fund.
In collaboration with funders, government agencies and business partners, the Fund – seeded by $200,000 from ECCF – will provide financial resources to nonprofit organizations working with communities that are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and the economic consequences of the outbreak.
The first priority of the Fund is to provide one-time rapid-response grants to organizations that serve priority populations such as:
• Underserved communities needing social service and public health infrastructure.
• Residents with limited access to safe, reliable food sources.
• Communities with a significant percentage of economically vulnerable residents.
Essex County Community Foundation inspires philanthropy that strengthens the communities of Essex County by managing charitable assets, strengthening and supporting nonprofits, and engaging in strategic community leadership initiatives. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life in the 34 towns and cities of Essex County.
We are a nonprofit too. Donate to Giving Compass to help us guide donors toward practices that advance equity.
