The Community Fund for Wellesley, an endowed fund of the Foundation for MetroWest*, has partnered with the Wellesley Board of Selectmen in creating the Wellesley COVID-19 Relief Fund.
This new fund will support the urgent and evolving needs in our Wellesley community resulting from the Coronavirus crisis. Funds raised will be granted on a rolling and rapid basis to nonprofit organizations and Town departments providing critical services and support to our resident community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Community Fund for Wellesley has committed $10,000 in seed funding to ensure an immediate source of grant support. We encourage Wellesley residents and our business community to join together in this effort.
