COVID-19 Relief Fund
Donation protected
Update as of October 22, 2020.
Amid all of the uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing is clear–people need our help. High-risk individuals are still self-isolating to reduce their chance of infection while they wait for a vaccine. Millions are still unemployed and unable to afford basic needs such as PPE, groceries, rent, and medication. Organizations are struggling to meet the demand for additional support during these difficult times.
The problems accompanying COVID-19 will continue to have a significant impact on our communities. Since launching the COVID-19 Relief Fund, we’ve seen an outpouring of support to help individuals facing immediate needs and organizations driving relief efforts, but the work is far from over.
Together, we can help our global community and support those affected by COVID-19. Will you join our cause?
Who benefits from your donation?
When you make a donation to the GoFundMe.org COVID-19 Relief cause, you financially support individuals impacted by the pandemic and organizations coordinating relief efforts. With your help, we can provide aid during this difficult time to those who need it most.
