Sonora, CA — In response to the community impacts stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, the Sonora Area Foundation has established a fund to help aid in the recovery.
It is designed to be a repository for donations to help local groups impacted by COVID-19. Grants will be made to non-profit organizations, government entities and those providing charitable services to Tuolumne County residents impacted either directly by the pandemic or the related “stay at home” mandate.
100-percent of the money donated to the fund will be spent locally.
Foundation Executive Director Darrell Slocum explains many more of the details, and early actions the foundation has taken in response to COVID-19, in a new myMotherLode.com blog that can be found by clicking here.
For information on grant applications, making a donation, or establishment of a donor fund, contact the Foundation at 209-533-2596 or through its website www.sonora-area.org.
