While we have come far together through these trying times, the test of who we are as a community is not over. And, tomorrow’s “normal” will not be familiar. New challenges will emerge, especially for those whose lives are fragile for economic, health, or other life situation reasons. This is why our Covid-19 Response Fund provides grants to community organizations with creative responses to the challenges of the new normal related to:
• Food insufficiency
• Rent and utilities assistance if from approved nonprofits
• Medical supplies/prescriptions assistance
Do you want to be a part of this effort? If so, you can make a donation to the Woodford County Community Fund’s Covid-19 Response Fund. Your contribution will be added to the available resources from our permanently endowed community fund, and will be granted rapidly to organizations on the front lines of support.
How can you do this?
• Write a personal check. Place WCCF Covid-19 Response Fund on the memo line and send the check to the Blue Grass Community Foundation, 499 E. High St., Suite 112, Lexington KY 40507.
• To make a donation using a credit card, go to https://bgcf.givingfuel.com/woodford-covid19

Chair, Woodford County Community Fund
The Woodford County Community Fund seeks nonprofit partners who have the capacity to address unmet basic needs arising from this crisis. To date, we have provided nearly $8,300 in grants to nonprofits in Woodford County to support their efforts, and these funds have leveraged an additional $4,000 in community assistance.

Grants are available to organizations and programs that work to provide residents with access to food, prescriptions, health care, childcare, unmet housing needs or other unmet needs. We are especially interested in grant applications that support Woodford County residents (e.g., seniors, parents, the food insecure, the housing insecure, the economically insecure) who have lost access to the resources they need to thrive.
