Resilient Stanislaus Fund
The Resilient Stanislaus Fund is meant to be a flexible source of funding with phases that respond to the fluid nature of our public health and economic crisis. The Fund’s first round of grants will be the ‘Relief’ phase: prioritize organizations that are trusted leaders in providing direct assistance locally. The second phase will move from relief to resilience: the Fund will focus on the economic recovery of our county.
