The COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund at Whidbey Community Foundation was formed to provide resources to nonprofit organizations on Whidbey Island working with our friends and neighbors who are impacted by coronavirus and the economic consequences of this outbreak. To date, Whidbey Community Foundation has awarded nearly $140,000 to 28 organizations from the COVID-19 Fund. Through the generosity and support of the Island community and beyond, WCF has raised over $210,000 for this Fund.

Whidbey Community Foundation recognizes the tremendous strain on our nonprofit sector and the people and places they support due to the current economic and social issues. In addition to the COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund, which is actively raising and distributing funds to community organizations serving those populations disproportionately affected by the pandemic, WCF’s Board of Directors designated up to $100,000 toward the 2020 Annual Grant Cycle.

Today, Whidbey Community Foundation joins in the launch of All In WA a coordinated, statewide relief effort that will support workers and families who have been acutely affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

All In WA has issued a $25 million-dollar matching gift challenge for the state. For every dollar raised, All In WA will match dollar for dollar, up to $1 million per unique donor.

Whidbey Community Foundation awarded its third round of grants from the COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund. To date, WCF has awarded nearly $80,000 to 18 organizations from the COVID-19 Fund.

Whidbey Community Foundation awarded its second round of grants totaling $25,000 from the COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund. To date, WCF has awarded nearly $70,000 to 14 nonprofits from the COVID-19 Fund.
