The Greenwich United Way has established the Greenwich COVID-19 Community Relief Fund in order to provide disaster relief and recovery efforts for Greenwich residents experiencing economic hardship due to the COVID-19 health crisis. Funds raised will go to local agencies supporting relevant relief.
Local non-profit organizations interested in applying should visit greenwichunitedway.org to complete an application for grant funds. The GUW Grants Committee will review all proposals from local agencies, conduct a deep dive into each organization’s financials, and review the recovery needs. Grant funds are expected to be used for basic essentials and food assistance, emergency medical expenses, rental relief and childcare assistance.
“The Greenwich United Way exists specifically to serve the community at moments like this. It is during a crisis that Greenwich shows its strength in solidarity by supporting those in our town who are struggling,” said David Rabin, CEO of Greenwich United Way. “Now is the time for every business and resident that is able to help us help those in need in our town. We will uncover the unmet needs at this difficult time and fund efficient, effective solutions. I encourage fellow residents to do all they can to support their neighbors facing these unforeseen challenges.”
Donations can be made to the Greenwich COVID-19 Community Relief Fund at greenwichunitedway.org/greenwich-covid-19-community-relief-fund. Please note COVID-19 on any donation made by check.
