Fairfield Community Foundation establishes fund to aid in coronavirus slowdown

CORONAVIRUS: Fundraisers, foundations driving financial help during coronavirus struggles

“Our first obligation, as stated in our mission, is to serve the Greater Fairfield community,” said Linda Yarger, Fairfield Community Foundation executive director.

The state has issued several mandates and recommendations in response to the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, including social distancing and self-isolation.

The Fairfield Community Foundation will post social media ads directing people to its website to consider donating to support non-profits. Yager said the foundation, however, is restricted to granting only to non-profit organizations.
