Rise and Recover Together
The Community Foundation has activated the Community Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) in response to the COVID-19 protective measures that are now in place in Southwest Colorado. These measures, such as closures, cancelations, self-quarantines and social distancing, are necessary to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure and transmission, and particularly to preserve and protect the capacity of our local healthcare facilities. Donations are being accepted to deploy funds to community-based organizations directly responding to the needs of vulnerable members of our community and other organizations that are suffering economic consequences from this pandemic. These resources will be disbursed as needed and as available. Information/to donate: ColoradoGives.org/cerf.
