K\u00e6re Ventura County Community Foundation-familie,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have been on my mind these past two weeks since we last connected together.  I hope you are safe and healthy, and I want to personally thank each of you for all that you have been doing to support one another and your community during this very challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago, I shared with you the news about the $500,000+ in grants that you had helped make possible in response to COVID-19 relief efforts.  At the time, we had just awarded the very last dollar from the Ventura County Rapid Response Fund<\/strong> og den 805 UndocuFund COVID-19 Fund<\/strong> had received close to 5,000 applications from families in our region (more than 1,000 additional applications have come in since that time!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, you leapt into action and offered new support and financial assistance, and now, because of you, we are able to announce an additional $391,000 in new grants to local nonprofit organizations!  Please see new grants awarded below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also are profoundly grateful that because of you, the 805 UndocuFund<\/strong> COVID-19 Fund<\/strong> has been able to start awarding funding to deserving families, with more than $820,000 raised to-date.  We are working to raise several more million in funding to help all qualified families and we really appreciate all you have been doing to spread the word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still much to be done, and I promise you that we will not stop raising the vital funding needed during this time, but I hope you will join me for just a moment as we celebrate the power we collectively have to meaningfully and rapidly support our community in the most difficult of circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are a part of a family of thousands that continually step forward again and again to be of service to one another.  Ventura County is a resilient and generous community.  We will get through this together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den bedste,
Vanessa<\/p>\n\n\n\n
