We have launched the United Response Fund as an urgent call to action — not just to support, but to stabilize and strengthen the nonprofit sector that thousands of families rely on every day. We will:

•    Deploy emergency financial assistance to individuals and families to address new, vital basic needs that are emerging in unprecedented ways because of immediate actions.

•    Provide flexible operating funds to support local community-based organizations and the new, unexpected and emerging needs impacting them. These resources will enable them to focus on sustaining critical services and meeting the needs of their communities, despite stretched budgets and staffing resources.

We are calling on our partners — donors, corporations, and foundations — to rise with us in this moment of historic uncertainty.
