Our community and the charitable sector are deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Edmonton Community Foundation has created the COVID-19 Rapid Response Fund to address the immediate and long-term needs of the charities working with our community’s most vulnerable.

So far, ECF has granted a combined total of more than $4 million to dozens of charities in greater Edmonton in response to COVID-19.

As a way to keep our stakeholders and community up to date in a transparent way, we have created this COVID-19 RRF resource. Here you will find regular updates on the work we are doing through the COVID-19 RRF as well as our other granting streams to support our community through the pandemic.
