On September 16, The Community Fund announced the relaunch of the CF Covid-19 Relief Fund in response to the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the subsequent growing needs of the community.
Year to date, the Fund has granted over $125,000 to nonprofit organizations helping those most in need in Lower Westchester. Additional dollars will be made immediately available to assist local agencies and organizations supporting those who have already been hit the hardest by the pandemic.
The Covid-19 Relief Fund is intended to offer immediate relief to community programs that address social, economic, and other repercussions of the novel coronavirus in Bronxville, Eastchester, and Tuckahoe. We will also be offering assistance to our neighboring communities of Mount Vernon and Yonkers.
Designed to be flexible and nimble in order 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 through the nonprofit sector.
