Marin Community Foundation: The COVID-19 Fund
Organizations that rely on volunteers to deliver services are finding themselves woefully shorthanded. Older adults who need nutrition, medical assistance and socialization, are at great risk. And with Spring nonprofit fundraisers cancelled, many organizations are facing the daunting prospect of losing significant anticipated revenue for the year.
In addition, those that work in lower paying and hourly jobs - in hospitality, retail, services and the like - are forgoing pay during closures, placing enormous pressure on already challenging circumstances.
Because of these far-reaching effects, the Marin Community Foundation has established the COVID-19 Fund of MCF. This quick-response Fund will be dedicated to directing financial support to nonprofit organizations serving those individuals and families most in need. Due to the ever-changing nature of this emergency, we feel that this is an effective and flexible method of response.
If you are interested in supporting vital nonprofits in your community, know that MCF staff are constantly assessing the situation and are in an excellent position to direct funding quickly to those who need it most.
