An unprecedented effort by U.S. community foundations to help those impacted by COVID-19 has now mobilized more than $1 billion to support on-the-ground efforts by nonprofits.

This latest figure includes funds managed by nearly 600 community foundations that have provided data as part of an ongoing study by the Community Foundation Public Awareness Initiative of grantmaking activities during COVID-19.

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.
