The Community Foundation of DeKalb County has established a Disaster Response Fund to address COVID-19. The foundation says the fund is not permanent and will be used to mobilize grant dollars for community organizations to help those affected by the virus.

According to a news release, the CFDC says it is actively listening to local entities to understand current needs during “the rapidly developing situation” within the community as a result of COVID-19.

The foundation says it is open to collaborating with other funders and community donors are encouraged to support local nonprofits by donating to the Dekalb County Disaster Response Fund.
