About the Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund
On March 16, The Chicago Community Trust (CCT) and United Way of Metro Chicago launched the Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund. The organizations saw the need for rapid relief and shared a desire to support nonprofits on the front lines. United Way and CCT, with the support of the city of Chicago, quickly created the fund as a means for the philanthropic community, corporations, and individuals across the region to support their neighbors in need. In just six months, more than 6,000 generous donors raised more than $35 Million, with 100% of the funds being processed and redirected back into the community.
Thank you to our partners who have come together from philanthropy, government, and business to support our community through the Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund.
