Community Crisis Fund
Helps Ensure Vital Services
As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were being felt throughout Central Alabama, the services of countless nonprofit
organizations were needed the most.
To help Central Alabama’s nonprofits through this tough time, UWCA launched the Community Crisis Fund, a donor-supported
fund that distributed grants on a monthly basis. The fund was split into two different categories to accommodate unique needs
faced by different organizations: The Human Needs Assistance Fund supported nonprofits’ abilities to meet basic human needs
and the Nonprofit Sustainability Fund helped cover agencies’ internal expenses.
Organizations were awarded funds based on evaluations and recommendations of a team of objective volunteers.
