Recovery and Response Effort Grantees
Our Recovery and Response Efforts grants were awarded to a select number of nonprofits in 2020 and 2021 that we believed were quickly and effectively responding to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racism on communities of color. We thank these grantees for their work centered on supporting those who are under-resourced while actively promoting social and racial justice during this time of recovery. To date, $5,110,000 in grants has been awarded.
