2020-2021 Annual Report
In 2020 We Established the COVID19 Relief Fund
No matter how you spin it, 2020 was a year of uncertainty, concern and sorrow for many. Words and phrases like isolation, social distancing, contact tracing, quarantine and panic shopping took new meaning. Our Community was generous with its support throughout the region. As early as March 2020, the Community Foundation was able to respond directly to the crisis by establishing the COVID19 Relief Fund for our area not-for-profits providing food, housing, utilities, daycare and other critical needs.

We Are So Thankful For Our Generous Donors
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 created so many challenges for all of us and we were forced to completely re-invent ourselves. The Community Foundation stepped out of its box and created an advisory coalition to provide information and resources to help determine the most critical needs throughout the crisis. We worked hard with these partnerships to stay on top of the situation as new priorities emerged daily. We also worked with city leaders, business owners and not for profit directors to understand the influx of Federal funds that flowed into our communities, so that we were not duplicating efforts.

Making a Difference in the Lives of Our Region
A food pantry truck delivering healthy nourishment to those in need, an elderly patient receiving comfort and encouragement through hospice care, youth experiencing the return of Independent living classes: these are just a few of the ways that the Community Foundation is making a difference in the lives of the Rockbridge, Bath, and Alleghany region.
