The Ford Foundation and W.K. Kellogg Foundation, both CMF members, in partnership with several other funders, recently announced the launch of the Families and Workers Fund.

The fund is dedicated to serving the workers, families and communities most devastated by the economic and health crises resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The foundations shared that with an initial commitment of $7.1 million and a goal to raise $20 million, the fund will provide flexible funding to organizations working to prevent workers and families from sinking more deeply into poverty during the initial months
