COVID-19: Unprecedented Crisis, Regional Response
As a community foundation, SVCF is positioned to meet the ongoing needs of our local communities and take on unexpected challenges, including response to the alarming spread of COVID-19. Today, our region is presented with an unprecedented public health crisis. The ripple effects of the coronavirus outbreak are already hitting low-income families, nonprofit organizations and small businesses especially hard. In response, SVCF is leading multiple efforts with our Bay Area philanthropic, government and corporate partners to protect public health and assist those affected by the disease and its impact.
