COVID 19: Reflection and Response

When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, everything changed. Our communities were in a crisis. Many vital services which so many people rely upon were suspended. The Community Foundation and United Way Fox Cities immediately put together the Covid 19 Community Response Fund.

This fund has granted $1,776,497 to 118 local nonprofits, thanks to the enormously generous people, business and other organizations who gave to the fund to help our most vulnerable and underserved community members during this medical and economic crisis.

We invited Tammy Geenen, our Vice President of Community Engagement, and Tony Gonzalez, Vice President Community Development at United Way Fox Cities, refelct about the incredible impact this fund has had in the past two years, and what’s next.
