Pandemic Relief 2021 COVID-19 Relief Fund grantees
COVID-19 Relief Fund Thanks to CFMC fund holders, foundations and community giving, the CFMC’s COVID-19 Relief Fund awarded $880,000 in 2021, topping $4.1 million in cumulative grants. The Relief Fund deployed the majority of grants to nonprofits that serve vulnerable populations by providing basic needs including food, housing, living expenses, transportation costs and direct support related to financial need. The Relief Fund awarded additional funds to agencies for operating support as well as programming addressing the mental health-related impacts of COVID-19. Grants also supported proactive COVID-19 prevention and recovery, including education and vaccination efforts. Local nonprofits have been incredibly resilient in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We applaud the adaptability and tenacity of these grantees and all the nonprofits who served our community during this time of extraordinary challenge.
