About the Campaign
United Way's COVID-19 United Response Fund is designed to help our community in a critical time of need. All dollars given through this fund will be used to support organizations and people in Northwest Vermont.
You're helping our most vulnerable community members battle the unknown. Let's work together to respond to our community's most urgent needs TODAY.
United Way has established the COVID-19 United Response Fund in order to rapidly mobilize resources to support organizations on the front lines of supporting communities and families most impacted by COVID-19.
In order to mobilize the resources for both short-term impacts and long-term challenges to the pandemic, we will be working in alignment with the City of Burlington, United Ways across the state, the Vermont Community Foundation, other state/local governments and private funders.
This crisis has brought front and center the economic and health fragility of many Vermonters, an issue we work to address year-round at United Way. We will leverage our unique position at the center of business, nonprofit and government organizations to create both immediate and long-term sustainability for our communities.
