The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region: Coronavirus Relief Fund

About

With a tremendous sense of empathy and urgency, The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region has launched a Coronavirus Relief Fund. This is a critical time for everyone—foundations, corporations, individuals and organizations can step up and combine resources to address and help limit negative impacts from the current public health crisis to the people and communities of our region.

The Community Foundation is working to identify and prioritize the most compelling areas of need. Initially, grant funding will support nonprofit organizations that provide community safety nets for crucial services in the following sectors: utilities, rent, childcare, food insecurity, and small business support. Grants will be restricted to the extent that funds must be used directly to respond to the Coronavirus.

About the Host

The Community Foundation of the Dan River Region is an independent, public charity established in September 1996 by a steering committee of local civic leaders to gather permanent funds to support our area. Our mission is to improve and enrich the lives of people in our community by encouraging the generosity of donors; by receiving, managing and distributing important resources; and by meeting a variety of charitable purposes in our community.
