in Central and MetroWest Mass
“The programs and services we’re proud to support were already critical to the wellbeing of thousands of children and adults, and the impact from COVID has only made the situation more dire,” said Kelsa Zereski, Reliant Foundation’s president. “Since March we’ve provided emergency grants to 35 non-profit organizations who services are a lifeline for the most vulnerable members of our community.”
This year’s efforts focus on supporting dozens of local non-profits in the region that have been challenged to adapt – and in some cases completely reinvent themselves – to align with the community’s needs in this time of COVID. Having distributed more than $220,000 in COVID-related emergency funding already this year, Reliant Foundation hopes the incremental funding from the fall appeal will ultimately support more than 50 non-profits, impacting more than 100,000 lives across the region.
“We know there is widespread public awareness about how difficult it has been for non-profits to operate in the current climate, and it’s our responsibility to have a clear understanding of how the generosity of our donors can make the greatest impact on the children and adults being served by these agencies,” added Zereski. “Every person who contributes to Reliant Foundation should know that their hard-earned money is providing life-saving and life-changing support to tens of thousands across the Central and MetroWest regions of Massachusetts.”
