The Southeastern Illinois Community Foundation in partnership with the Lumpkin Family Foundation has established the Southeastern Illinois CO-VID 19 Relief Fund. The fund will make grants to established community-based organizations that provide direct support to local residents and families most impacted by the outbreak. Grant recipients must demonstrate a need for funding. Application forms and information will be released soon. Grants may be made to non-profit organizations, schools, and units of government located in Coles, Effingham, Cumberland, Jasper, Crawford, Clark, Shelby, Richland, Lawrence, Fayette and Clay counties. The fund will not provide grants to individuals.
