About the COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund at Whidbey Community Foundation
The COVID-19 Community Resilience Fund provides 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. Hosted by the Whidbey Community Foundation, the fund is designed to complement the work of public agencies by expanding local capacity to address aspects of the outbreak as efficiently as possible.
To date, WCF has awarded over $80,000 to 20 organizations from the COVID-19 Fund. Funds will be used toward a variety of needs, including: purchasing Air Purifying Respirators for Whidbey Island’s only public-serving hospital; supporting increased demand at food banks; coordinating meal services to children, families, seniors, and those experiencing homelessness; tele-health therapy for survivors of abuse; tele-health services for early childhood intervention; free childcare for healthcare workers and first responders; and technology to support remote learning for homeless youth.
