crisis response
COVID-19 pandemic
The Essex County COVID-19 Response Fund launched on March 20, 2020 to support nonprofits on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak. Over the course of two years, the fund united our communities in a countywide, collaborative approach to giving. Together, we helped nonprofits address the immediate effects of the pandemic, and supported the finding of solutions to build long-term strength and resiliency in our communities.
