Funding for coronavirus (COVID-19)
We've created this pop-up web page to get you the information you need to do good during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It includes a funding opportunities section, a funding summary, and news items. We invite nonprofits seeking support because of the crisis, funders who wish to learn what their peers are doing, the media, and all who wish to know more about philanthropy's response to the pandemic to take advantage of this resource.

Recipient clarifications
- Unknown Recipient: When a funder announces cash or in-kind gifts for general crisis relief without naming a recipient at all, or describes the recipient as only a national, regional, or local geographic entity.
- Multiple Recipients: When a funder names more than one recipient of a cash or in-kind gift without specifying the dollar allocation to each.

About
Candid gets you the information you need to do good. That’s why we created this pop-up webpage to share the philanthropic response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Knowing where money is going and how, and having the latest information from organizations, facilitates thoughtful collaboration and decision-making in times of crisis.
The page updates automatically as data and news are added to our database. The data is derived from news articles and other sources, and funders who directly share their funding data with us. We code the data according to our taxonomy. The news section pulls from 300,000 source articles that we regularly scan for relevant information. Check back regularly for updates.
Visit this free disaster funding map to track giving to disasters, including coronavirus. The Center for Disaster Philanthropy also has several resources that can help funders be effective in their response to this crisis.
