COVID-19 Relief Fund

On March 11th, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, reaching more than 118 countries and infecting hundreds of thousands of people in the US alone.

Health care workers and first responders are risking their lives everyday and fighting tirelessly to help as many infected patients as possible during the current outbreak of COVID-19. As we see more confirmed coronavirus cases in Illinois, Northwestern Medicine has been working hard to ensure the health and safety of their patients.

Now more than ever, it is critical to raise funds for healthcare professionals and hospitals so that they can continue to provide the highest quality of care for members of our community. Your gratefully accepted monetary contributions will be donated entirely to Northwestern Medicine’s COVID-19 Relief Fund, a program designed to provide the resources needed at this critical time. This relief fund has been instituted by the Northwestern Foundation, and seeks aid in delivering the much needed resources around the Chicagoland area.

We are inspired by the strength and perseverance of these individuals and aim to unite our community in the battle against the coronavirus. 


Thank you for your support!
