In light of the extraordinary challenges many in our community have been facing due to the ongoing pandemic, the Foundation chose to expedite the distribution of this Spring’s limited resources by issuing invitation-only COVID-19 emergency assistance grants to a select group of organizations who
- were previous Takoma Foundation grant recipients,
- primarily serve the greater Takoma Park community, and
- have the mechanisms and networks to provide resources quickly.
