Coronavirus: San Angelo Area Foundation Sets Up Fund for Emergency Grants to Area Nonprofits

SAN ANGELO, TX – The San Angelo Area Foundation Wednesday announced a fund to provide emergency grants to local charitable organizations.

According to the announcement, the San Angelo Area Foundation is closely monitoring the that COVID-19 has had on our community and our local charities.  No category of nonprofits has been immune to the economic effects of COVID-19.  The San Angelo Area Foundation has established a COVID-19 Community Response Fund to provide emergency grants to charitable organizations in the Concho Valley who have experienced increased service demands and/or have been impacted by the economic consequences as a result of this outbreak.  View Press Release. 

We know our community stands ready to respond, which is why SAAF has established the COVID-19 Community Response Fund, that will be used to support community needs in response to COVID-19/Coronavirus.  Donations to this fund will be used to provide financial support for area charitable organizations that will work with individuals, families, and communities who may be most affected by this epidemic.

All charities will need continued support over the coming weeks, even if they may not be directly responding the crisis.  We encourage everyone to continue providing financial support to broad range of causes and nonprofits you care about across the Concho Valley.  Nonprofits are going to have an increased need for services during and after this outbreak, as well as access to flexible, unrestricted funds that provide additional dollars to assist them during this epidemic.

COVID-19 emergency grant requests can be made by non-profits through this link.
