MacArthur and 44 individual, corporate, and foundation donors established the Illinois COVID-19 Response Fund to support nonprofits throughout the state serving people and communities hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund will rapidly distribute resources to nonprofits across the state. Resources will go to organizations that provide essential services to residents—including emergency food and supplies, housing, health care services, utility assistance, household expenses, supports for children and other vulnerable populations, and nonprofit safety and operations assistance.
