LCF COVID-19 Response Fund
About the Fund
Led by London Community Foundation in partnership with the Lawson Foundation and Westminster College Foundation, the LCF COVID-19 Response Fund is a collaborative effort to support our community throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Coordinated Response
This collaborative partnership is working closely with United Way Elgin Middlesex, the City of London and other local funders to deliver a coordinated response that will provide a full-spectrum safety net for our community’s most vulnerable. Together, we are keeping our community strong.
Grants
An Advisory Council composed of partner organizations is determining how to best allocate these funds. Leveraging the Council’s expertise and community knowledge ensures we are proactively addressing our community’s needs.
Response Grants
To assist non-profit organizations serving the immediate needs of the most vulnerable individuals and families. This includes shelter, food, and other physical and psychological needs, such as counselling.
Recovery Grants
To assist in stabilizing non-profit organizations in London and Middlesex where their funding has been reduced, or their operational costs have increased as a result of COVID-19. Funding may also be directed to organizations for specific initiatives to assist vulnerable populations, further disadvantaged to a large degree as a result of the pandemic.
Rebuild Grants
To assist organizations in re-examining their current methods of operation, or to transform how they operate to more efficiently and effectively serve their clients, which may include new forms of collaboration and partnership. It may also include funds to assist in developing new business plans and models.
Thank you for your support!
