Tune in to listen and learn about nonprofit organizations about the requirements to apply for assistance to keep your nonprofit mission going during these uncertain time to help and continue to serve. Do check with your local united way to see if they offer disaster relief for your organization.  

Purpose

The activation of Florida’s First Coast Relief Fund is designed to provide  resources to nonprofit organizations in Northeast Florida working to meet unmet critical needs of residents who are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus and the economic consequences of this outbreak.

Priorities

Critical needs are rapidly emerging, and will continue to evolve. The Relief Fund will provide flexible resources to nonprofits in our region responding to urgent needs resulting from COVID-19 disruption that are not being met by other funding sources. At this time the First Coast Relief Fund focus areas will include:

• Food assistance, non-food items and supplies for agency and low-income individuals and families who are food insecure due to job losses, school closings, etc.
• Short term housing assistance to support shelters to safely distance residents and prevent the spread of COVID-19
• Financial assistance for individuals and families impacted by the crisis to help meet their basic household needs
• Childcare support for first responders and other front-line staff working to prevent the spread of the virus
• Medical, safety supplies, and equipment for community-based service providers as they carry out essential community services
• Technology support for nonprofits to enable remote work and continued delivery of services
