We know many of our nonprofit partners are facing sudden funding cuts and contract changes, making it harder to serve the community.

That’s why we’ve launched a Rapid Response Fund to offer short-term relief grants—up to $75,000—for nonprofits experiencing immediate funding disruptions. This fund is here to help you keep doing the work our community depends on.
