Deadline: 23-Oct-20
As the organization settles into a “new normal,” how can a grant from the DuPage Foundation’s COVID19 Response Fund help you adapt or improve the delivery of the services and programs in a safe, effective and efficient manner? How can the Foundation help you continue to meet the increasing needs? If you can answer these questions and meet eligibility requirements, you are eligible to apply.
The DuPage Foundation will award a fourth round of COVID-19 Response Fund grants to support local not-for-profit organizations as they reimagine and reposition their operations. Over the past six months, organizations have encountered myriad challenges in response to the pandemic, yet the true spirit of not-for-profit community has shone through with much needed services and programs continuing to be offered.
DuPage Foundation awarded three rounds of grants from the DuPage COVID-19 Response Fund earlier this year to help organizations address the most immediate and basic needs of local residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, neither the crisis nor the needs associated with it have disappeared and many organizations have had to rethink the way they do business.
