Covid-19 We are in this together
United Way of Marquette County has collaborated with the Community Foundation of Marquette County to establish the COVID-19 Community Response fund for people to donate to help meet immediate needs in the community related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund will support the nonprofits who are serving vulnerable populations during this time.
Phase one: The committee is accepting phase one applications until November 30, 5pm. Basic and immediate short-term needs for non-profits and grassroots charitable causes. The goal of this phase is to assist those who are providing basic necessities such as food, shelter, household supplies and basic medical supplies (face masks, PPE) for vulnerable populations and essential workers.
Phase two – OPEN DECEMBER 1-31: Organizational support for nonprofits. The goal of this phase is to adjust grantmaking practices from immediate needs, to provide flexibility for grantees to address current internal organizational needs. Grant examples include operating expenses, program assistance, loss of revenue from canceled events/closing doors, staff time/positions, etc.
