A truth revealed by the pandemic: Adversity fuels generosity. Sonora Area Foundation (SAF) has been fortunate to witness this principle in practice through the outpouring of support received by its Community Recovery Fund (CRF). In March of last year, SAF opened the CRF to assist local nonprofits in their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic; to date, CRF donations have topped $387,000 and more than $330,000 in grants have been awarded. These grants have supported an array of programs and services – from bread for the hungry to helping complete an emergency evacuation road project. While CRF monies have benefitted many, much need remains, as the pandemic’s repercussions will likely continue well into 2021. SAF has surveyed local nonprofits, and the results are telling. Five organizations reported combined revenue losses of $125,000 from canceled fundraisers; for one nonprofit, such a cancelation meant the loss of 85 percent of its annual budget. Several report severe financial strain, and a couple of nonprofits are unsure of their organizations’ future financial stability. The CRF was established to help nonprofits adapt and adjust to these pandemic-related challenges.
