The Adams County Community Foundation awarded grants from its COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund in 2020 and 2021 to area nonprofits in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic downturn. The objective of the COVID-19 Relief & Recovery Fund is to help support nonprofits providing critical services around economic security so that basic human needs are met, and to support the continued health of nonprofits across Adams County.
Through the COVID-19 Fund, gifts from The Forward Fund, Dwight D. Eisenhower Society, Thomas and Florence Metz Fund and many others have provided critical support to nonprofits struggling to meet the extraordinary needs of our community.
