The Community Foundation, in partnership with United Way of Washington County, created the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Fund to help Washington County nonprofits and individuals impacted by coronavirus. Collaborative partners in the philanthropic funding community include the Pauline K. Anderson Foundation, Alice Virginia and David W. Fletcher Foundation, Community Foundation of Washington County, MD, God’s Grace Fund, The John R. Hershey Jr. and Anna L. Hershey Family Foundation, Ed and Betsy Beachley, Dr. and Mrs. Mitesh and Erin Kothari, Kevin and Stacey Crawford, Todd and Sue Baer, the Adna Fulton Family Fund and the Dutton Family Fund.

This fund, currently, is closed and committee members are working on disbursements to local recipients.
