Regional & Affiliate COVID-19 Community Support 

This page is for those applying for or donating to COVID-19 support efforts from the Community Foundation's regional funds or the Women's Fund of CNY. Applicants and donors to the Onondaga County-based COVID-19 Community Support Fund should click here.

While we are all dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our neighbors face disproportionate challenges due to unexpected time off from work, unplanned child or health care expenses and lack of access to adequate food and shelter. 

The Central New York Community Foundation’s affiliate funds have joined forces with local partners to provide assistance to organizations working with residents who are disproportionately impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the economic consequences of this outbreak.
