COVID RELIEF GRANTS
The Community Foundation of NCW awarded a total of $1,759,157 in Covid relief for North Central Washington nonprofits.
Since the Spring of 2020, the foundation’s grant programming was retooled to focus on providing stability for nonprofits that have been impacted by Covid-19. The challenges nonprofits faced were parallel to those of small businesses, with some struggling to meet increased demand and others completely shuttered.
The grant funds were distributed to nonprofit organizations in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties through various grant programs at the Foundation, including the Helping Hands and Nonprofit Reemergence grants. Helping Hands grants were reviewed and awarded every month to help with immediate and critical safety-net needs such as food and housing, mental health, childcare, and most recently support for projects that address unfinished learning due to the pandemic for K-12 youth. The Reemergence grants were awarded quarterly and offered a maximum of $20,000 of flexible funding to help organizations remain viable through the pandemic.
