The NET coronavirus fund
The National Emergencies Trust (NET) has today, Wednesday 18 March, launched an appeal to raise funds to help local charities to support those individuals suffering hardship as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. The National Emergencies Trust will distribute money raised through a number of charitable organisations including local Community Foundations, to ensure it reaches those who need it most.
Community Foundations are well placed to support local charities to overcome challenges presented by this ongoing emergency.
Details of the NET fund and criteria for groups to apply for funding will follow in the next few days. SCF is also drawing up plans for using existing local funds alongside the NET funding and we will be announcing our approach shortly.
