VCCF\u2019s Ventura County Rapid Response Fund makes financial support available to those organizations experiencing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19, and to enable these organizations to maintain and increase services.<\/span><\/p>\n

While public health officials are working diligently to prepare for and respond to COVID-19, VCCF\u2019s <\/span>Ventura County Rapid Response Fund<\/b> was established to financially support nonprofit organizations addressing the needs of individuals and families with food and housing support, childcare, wage replacement, mental health and more. The Fund enables these organizations to remain open and expand as the demand for their services increases. Hundreds of Ventura County families have been provided direct cash assistance, with thousands receiving additional essential support, such as food for families, access to mental health services, childcare, and critical housing and rental assistance. Support for small business owners has also been made available through the Women\u2019s Economic Venture and the Economic Development Collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the challenges associated with COVID-19 continue to evolve, we are committed to supporting our neighbors, colleagues, friends and communities,\u201d said Eduardo Cetlin, President of the Amgen Foundation. \u201cThank you to the Ventura County Community Foundation for initiating this Rapid Response Fund, which will be critical as Ventura County\u2019s nonprofit organizations work to address the needs of those impacted by the virus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, over the past two months our community has been facing intense challenges,\u201d said Scott Hansen, VCCF Board Chair. \u201cAmgen\u2019s incredible and immediate generosity has served to also inspire communitywide generosity, with thousands stepping forward to help their neighbors during this difficult time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"<\/span>Our goal is to do everything possible to raise the millions in funding needed to serve local individuals and families, and we deeply appreciate the outpouring of support by our partners and fellow community members,\u201d said Bechtel, \u201cThere is still so much to be done.
