Strategic Emergency Response Fund

THE STRATEGIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND 
At the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, The Cape Cod Foundation allocated $100,000 in discretionary money to seed The Cape Cod Foundation Strategic Emergency Response Fund.  To date, through the generosity of private foundations, corporate partners and individual donors, we have raised $5.67 million and distributed $4.22 million to support nonprofit local nonprofit organizations providing critical programs and services to residents in need and nonprofit capacity-building initiatives that help them reach the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity for long-term stability and lasting change.

Through the generosity of The Gitlin Family, and with support from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development, we raised $750,000 for The Strategic Emergency Response Fund and used this funding as a matching challenge to the community to raise an additional $750,000 by May 31, 2021. The challenge exceeded our goal, bringing more than $1.5 million in resources to the Cape Cod region.

Fundraising continues. More grants are planned. All funds raised are for current use (not endowment) and support nonprofit organizations serving Cape Cod residents. More grants are planned.  We will continue to respond to immediate needs and fuel initiatives that will help us rebuild.
