The Merrick Foundation has recently launched a Community Response Fund in order to provide flexible resources to non-profit organizations in Merrick County. The fund will be designed to address the impacts of COVID-19, including immediate needs and operational challenges. Here are some examples of grants that could be made:

* To schools to assist them with technology and other needs related to remote learning.
* To organizations in our community who work to address the immediate needs of economically vulnerable populations caused by lost work, closures and cancellations related to COVID-19.
* To organizations who are working with our elderly population who may be at high risk for COVID-19.
* To the many Merrick County non-profits who are having operations disrupted as well as seeing other funding sources decline.
