DC Bar Foundation COVID-19 Response Fund
The DC Bar Foundation (DCBF) has established a COVID-19 Response
Fund to address needs in the District of Columbia’s civil legal aid network
that have been caused or intensified by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Foundation is providing emergency grants and other support to help the District’s civil legal aid community adapt and respond to the emergent needs
of DC workers and families who are most vulnerable to the health and
economic repercussions of the current pandemic. In an initial round of
emergency grants approved in June 2020, the Foundation prioritized small nonprofit legal aid organizations that are working with communities of color
who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
