The Three Arches Foundation (TAF) COVID-19 Response Fund was created to provide vital, rapid support to stabilize and strengthen the efforts of nonprofit organizations responding to and impacted by COVID-19.
These grants are earmarked to support response efforts that directly help prevent spread of the disease and aid in the start of recovery from the effects of this public health crisis. In keeping with TAF’s mission, geography and priority area of focus, the Fund will support organizations working to address immediate and quickly evolving issues around critical access to behavioral and physical health care for vulnerable populations throughout Lakewood and surrounding communities.
