$536.6M and Counting: Donors Across Country Rally to Support Covid-19 Relief

A diverse coalition of individuals, companies, and foundations have rallied to mobilize $536.6 million to support community foundation-led Covid-19 relief efforts across the United States.

That figure includes funds managed by more than 325 community foundations in all 50 states that have provided figures to the Community Foundation Public Awareness Initiative.

Much of that money is already at work in communities -- with more to come over the coming weeks.
