ALEXANDRIA, VA – ACT for Alexandria is known for its support of the Alexandria community. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, ACT created the Alexandria Resilience Fund. That fund, which is derived from the ACT Now COVID-19 Response Fund, has awarded $1.4 million in grants to date.
“The Alexandria Resilience Fund will support the health and sustainability of local nonprofit organizations addressing ongoing and emerging human service needs of City residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” reads an ACT email.
ACT plans to increase its efforts to support those in need, thanks to $2 million in CARES Act funding from the City of Alexandria.
Funds will be given to local organizations that address economic and food security, housing stability, health services access, equity in education, and the needs of children and their families.
ACT plans to award grants until the $2 million is depleted. To learn more about the Alexandria Resilience Fund, click HERE. The application can be found HERE. Applicants are advised to read all criteria and guidelines.
