WARREN COUNTY EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND
The Warren County Emergency Relief Fund has been established at the Warren County Foundation, funded by WCF and other nonprofits. The short-term emergency relief funds will allow UWWC/WCCS/WCF to start assembling 50% matches from the Nonprofit COVID-19 Network to help address critical needs. The Short-Term Review Team is in place to review proposals and they made their first grant last week. The Short-Term Review Team includes:
Aaron Reid, CEO, Warren County United Way & Community Services United Way of Warren County and Warren County Community Services are partnering with Warren County Commissioner Shannon Jones to coordinate COVID-19 communications in the nonprofit sector. This will help to minimize duplication of services and maximizing the value of scarce resources.
COVID-19 REGIONAL RECOVERY FUND
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation and the United Way of Greater Cincinnati have established the Covid-19 Regional Recovery Fund. Their goal is $5.0 million with more than $4.0 million raised. Large contributions have come from the corporations with regional footprints (i.e. Procter & Gamble, The Kroger Company, Fifth Third Foundation, etc.). The Fund is providing timely, agile support to local and regional nonprofit organizations to address issues of:
REGIONAL COLLABORATION
The following team has worked through a series of conference calls, e-mails, etc. to develop a regional collaboration plan: Ellen Katz, President/CEO, Greater Cincinnati Foundation; Moira Weir, President/CEO, United Way of Greater Cincinnati; Mag Baker, President/CEO, Butler County United Way; John Guidugli, President/CEO, Hamilton Community Foundation; Aaron Reid, President/CEO, United Way of Warren County and Warren County Community Services; and Tom Seddon, Chief Executive Officer, Warren County Foundation.
The COVID-19 Regional Recovery Fund has committed $150,000 and $100,000 respectively to Butler and Warren Counties as a portion of the regional corporate contributions to the fund. Dollars raised over and above these amounts in Butler and Warren Counties are matched dollar for dollar by the Regional Recovery Fund with a match cap of $250,000.
IMPACT ON WARREN COUNTY
The monies will be held by the Greater Cincinnati Foundation in the Regional Recovery Fund. Distributions to each county will be determined locally in each county. The Warren County Short-Term Review Team will determine distributions for Warren County. The attached application form can be used for the Regional Recovery Fund and the Warren County Emergency Relief Fund. Return completed form to info@warrencountyfoundation.org.
For illustration purposes we now have an additional $100,000 available for emergency aid. We have raised an additional $100,000 in contributions for the Regional Recovery Fund, the fund is matching dollar-for-dollar with an additional $100,000. We have at least $300,000 for emergency aid to Warren County.
The regional team agreed that this is the first step in future regional collaboration. Now it is our turn to step up and commit to the Regional Recovery Fund. Gifts to this program should be made payable to the Warren County Foundation, 118 East Main Street, Lebanon, OH 45036. Write Regional Recovery Fund on the memo line.
