Scranton Area Community Foundation: NEPA COVID-19 Response Fund

About

Our hearts are with all who have been impacted by the unprecedented events resulting from the coronavirus outbreak. To address the diverse and pressing needs of our community, the Scranton Area Community Foundation has recently established the NEPA COVID-19 Response Fund which aims to rapidly deploy resources to the nonprofit organizations that are at the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak in our region.

The NEPA COVID-19 Response Fund is a non-endowed, field-of-interest fund, which intends to provide immediate, responsive, and flexible resources to organizations in our local communities working with those who are impacted by COVID-19 and the related economic, social, and health-related consequences of the outbreak. The Fund is designed to expand local capacity to address all aspects of the outbreak as efficiently as possible, particularly those that might be unable to be effectively addressed otherwise.
