Estimada familia de la Fundaci\u00f3n Comunitaria del Condado de Ventura,<\/p>\n
On March 13th<\/sup>La Fundaci\u00f3n Comunitaria del Condado de Ventura, en coordinaci\u00f3n con el Condado de Ventura, la Fundaci\u00f3n Amgen, la YMCA del Sureste del Condado de Ventura, Give An Hour, y la Colaboraci\u00f3n para el Desarrollo Econ\u00f3mico, ha lanzado la\u00a0Fondo de Respuesta R\u00e1pida del Condado de Ventura<\/strong>. The next day, the 805 UndocuFund COVID-19<\/strong>\u00a0fund was activated with partner organizations, including Future Leaders of America, CAUSE, MICOP, and the McCune Foundation.<\/p>\n Immediately, VCCF awarded the following grants:<\/p>\n Within a few days, VCCF awarded additional grants for our community:<\/p>\n And, yesterday, the VCCF Board approved additional emergency funds for our community:<\/p>\n VCCF donors have also activated their personal giving, supporting numerous local organizations, including\u00a0Paso seguro<\/strong>, delivering daily meals to 200 at-risk youth, the\u00a0Misi\u00f3n de Rescate del Condado de Ventura<\/strong>,\u00a0805 UndocuFund<\/strong>,\u00a0Interface Children & Family Service<\/strong>y\u00a02-1-1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As of yesterday, 100% of funds received have been distributed. We are actively fundraising for additional dollars and will be awarding funding to local nonprofit organizations rapidly as additional contributions are received.<\/p>\n The need is unprecedented. We have received millions in requests for support and will do all we can to help. It will take all of us collaborating together, which is why VCCF is not assessing any administrative fees and 100% of funds contributed will help those who need it most.<\/p>\n I wish I could share my inbox with you. In the face of so many challenges, I am receiving hundreds of emails from local community members stepping forward to help their neighbors during this time. It is heartwarming and reinforces the fact that Ventura County is a resilient and generous community. We will get through this together!<\/p>\n Lo mejor, <\/p>\n Donar ahora<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is with a grateful heart that we share that the 900-page CARES Act under section 2204 includes a universal tax deduction of up to $300 for individual donors that they can use on their 2020 tax return. This provision reinstates the opportunity for gifts of all sizes to qualify as tax-deductible.<\/p>\n While this above-the-line deduction doesn\u2019t apply to donors who itemize their deductions, an additional tax incentive that increases the cap on charitable contributions from 60% of a donor\u2019s AGI to 100% will benefit itemizers, too.<\/p>\n Unlike U.S. citizens, undocumented immigrants do not qualify for unemployment benefits. Those now without normal pay due to the novel coronavirus outbreak will struggle to make payments or feed their families.<\/p>\n \u201cUndocumented immigrants have been the backbone of our economy,\u201d said FLA executive director Eder Gaona-Macedo, who himself was undocumented until 2016. \u201cWe have got to make sure that we have a safety net for undocumented families and that they do have funds to get them through this pandemic.\u201dDonate Now<\/p>\n Aera has given VCCF $50,000 in immediate funding to be distributed through the Ventura County Rapid Response Fund for COVID-19 recovery efforts. On top of the donation, Aera is challenging our community to contribute matching funds, in any amount, in an effort to increase\u00a0support for nonprofit organizations addressing the needs of individuals and families with food and housing support, childcare, wage replacement, mental health care, and more.\u00a0during this pandemic. VCCF is proud to partner with direct service providers…Read More<\/p>\n El Condado de Ventura y el Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia del \u00c1rea Operativa del Condado de Ventura est\u00e1n haciendo un llamamiento a la comunidad y a las empresas locales para que donen Equipos de Protecci\u00f3n Individual (EPI) en respuesta a la pandemia COVID-19.<\/p>\n Se solicitan los siguientes elementos:<\/p>\n The addresses for donation drop off locations are as follows:<\/p>\n Seguir leyendo<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
