About the Fund

The East Bay Community Foundation’s COVID-19: A Just East Bay Response Fund will rapidly deploy resources to organizations addressing the social and economic impacts of the broader COVID-19 outbreak, including the immediate needs of communities and organizations affected by coronavirus-related closures.

EBCF community partners are reporting extreme economic hardship across vulnerable populations as well as severe impacts to organizational operations that affect a range of programming including the arts, education, health, housing, civic engagement, youth, economic development, and other vital community services. 

Grant Priorities

The COVID-19: A Just East Bay Response Fund will prioritize resources to organizations serving extremely vulnerable populations who are unlikely to receive state or federal support, including:

• undocumented immigrants,
• unsheltered individuals,
• those employed via cash economy (e.g. day laborers, domestic workers),
• uninsured and under-insured, youth,
• victims of domestic violence,
• low-income seniors, and
• the formerly incarcerated.

Funding Categories

• Direct financial assistance to individuals and families experiencing extreme economic hardship
• Frontline organizations providing essential services to priority populations
• General Operating Support to existing grantees to support their operations and related impacts during the crisis
• Organizing and Systems Change
