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.

- Multiple Recipients: When a funder names more than one recipient of a cash or in-kind gift without specifying the dollar allocation to each.
