Front & Centered’s

FRONTLINE RESPONSE FUND

Thank you to our supporters and to the many community groups who have held the line and continued to serve their mission and respond to the urgent needs of thousands of people in need of help. Front and Centered was able to distribute over $500,000 to nearly 60 community groups all over the state. The Frontline Response Fund continues to raise resources for the next phase of resiliency for community member organization support. More information coming soon.

Front and Centered, a coalition of over 75+ grassroots organizations based in and led by communities of color, has created a Frontline Response Fund to provide immediate and direct assistance to our grantees working to respond to acute environmental health challenges across Washington State such as COVID-19 and wildfires. Indigenous, poor, and communities of color experience the most severe impacts from these threats.

Working with our 75 + partner organizations (listed here) − each of which is deeply rooted in communities of color − the Frontline Response Fund  will support the member groups of Front and Centered, as they continue to serve at the frontlines, in their communities, which are all affected and experiencing multiple challenges right now.

Confusion and uncertainty are growing around Employment, Transportation, Utilities, Eldercare, Access to Food, Housing and Childcare. Just a modest amount of assistance can serve as a lifeline for the people within these communities, during this unprecedented humanitarian and global health crisis.

See their Facebook page here.
