EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - City officials announced Friday that the COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund of the Greater Evansville Region is receiving a $150,000 match made available from the Welborn Baptist Foundation.
This allows for every dollar donated to the COVID-19 fund to be matched dollar for dollar up to $150,000.
Last year, the Welborn Baptist Foundation supported the fund with a $300,000 gift. Officials say that money helped to launch the fund, in partnership with a handful of other local organizations, with initial financial and in-kind support.
