We’ll discuss how to give safely and effectively during this pandemic. Follow us on Twitter at @FidelityChrtbl, and submit your questions ahead of time via the #Give4CovidRelief hashtag.
We’ve identified three critical areas where giving can make the greatest difference in this pandemic. For each area, we’ve identified key ways to help and, working with the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, organizations actively working to provide aid.
Support
medical needs
Needs in this area range from providing crucial protective equipment for frontline health staff and necessary support for free clinics, to helping further the development of potential diagnostics and vaccines.
Protect
vulnerable populations
Help protect the people who may be affected most deeply by the pandemic. Safety net organizations like food banks need your support now more than ever.
Sustain
all nonprofits
Nonprofits are facing an increased demand for services paired with strains on fundraising. Many organizations rely on in-person volunteerism, fundraising events or public performances to survive. Continue your support for the organizations you always have.
