funds to help the homeless in our community. With the current COVID-19 crisis going on in our country, we have decided to make donations to two relief funds in our area for the first quarter of 2020.
The newly founded COVID-19 Response Fund was set up by the Foundation for the Carolinas. “This fund will support a range of nonprofits assisting the people most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Importantly, this fund will help not just those who get sick but also those who are economically impacted.
This fund was launched on March 16 thanks to a $1 million lead gift from LendingTree and a $1 million matching gift from the City of Charlotte. These gifts have inspired additional donations, totaling more than $15 million to date.”
The firm has also donated to the Atrium Health Caregivers Heroes Fund. This fund will be used “to support Atrium Health teammates during the COVID-19 pandemic and other crisis events, as identified by Atrium Health. This fund will support reasonable and necessary personal, family, living, or funeral expenses that teammates incur as a result of COVID-19.”
