The Community Fund of Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe (TCF) today announced the launch of the Community Fund COVID-19 Relief Fund in response to the impact of the coronavirus COVID-19 and the subsequent growing needs of its community.
The new fund is intended to offer immediate relief to community programs that address the social, economic, and other repercussions of the novel coronavirus in Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe and to assist neighboring communities in Mount Vernon and Yonkers.
Up to $250,000 will be made immediately available to assist local agencies and organizations supporting those the pandemic has already hit the hardest.
Designed to be flexible and nimble to support trusted frontline community organizations, the fund’s purpose is to complement the work of local officials and expand capacity to address all aspects of the outbreak as efficiently as possible through the nonprofit sector”
“Because this global crisis is global, it’s easy to feel powerless,” said Amy Korb, TCF Executive Director. “But we can take back our power by lending a helping hand to our neighbors and community members who are suffering the most. This is the true meaning of community. ”
The application process is now open. The application can be found on the Community Fund website.
Aiming for a quick turnaround, the Community Fund Grants Committee will review all proposals from local agencies and respond on a rolling basis.
