The COVID-19 Regional Response Fund was started two weeks ago to help non-profits hit hard by the novel coronavirus. With backing by the Community Foundation, the fund quickly garnered some major donations. The aim is to help nonprofits dealing with vulnerable populations. It wasn’t long after that a second fund was established, also in tandem with the Community Foundation. The Gateway Resilience Fund was created to help the restaurant and retail industries. Together, the two funds have already raised $1.4 million. In this episode, Sarah Fenske talks with Roo Yawitz, co-creator and advisor to the Gateway Resilience Fund.
