The Community Foundations of the Lowcountry is currently seeking grant applications to
support health and human services nonprofits addressing food and housing
insecurities and the economic impact of reduced and lost work.
The mission of the Lowcountry Community COVID-19 Response Fund is
to rapidly deploy resources to community-based nonprofit and equivalent
organizations in Beaufort, Colleton, Hampton and Japser Counties that are
addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the current phase of grantmaking, they
have added education as a funding area, to benefit children who have increased
educational needs relating to COVID-19.
Applications must support health and human
services nonprofits or equivalents working with residents without access to
healthcare or who are food or housing insecure. Their grantmaking will focus on
increasing resiliency in affected populations by addressing the economic impact
of reduced and lost work due to closures and the most vulnerable in
communities.
