Each affiliate has been encouraged to create a Community Response Fund which will exist as a shell fund agreement until activated in the case of a community-wide disaster. Many affiliates activated their funds during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The following is information specific to the Fund’s implementation:
The Community Response Fund supports short and long-term recovery efforts for a local community-wide response event. Grant from this expendable fund are only awarded to eligible service providers who possess a 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Service code; are exempt under statute (i.e. educational institution, institutions of faith, a city or county government); or are formally linked to an organization with such designation. Grant awards made from this fund will be routed to service providers engaging in direct response, service, education and support.
