    Evansville, IN – The COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund of the Greater Evansville Region has awarded a nineteenth round of allocations, granting nearly $350,000 to ten of the seventeen nonprofit applicants. In total, the Response Fund has awarded 181 grants to 114 nonprofits, amounting to $5.3 million in relief, recovery, and restoration needs related to the pandemic. 

    As part of round nineteen, Community One was awarded $75,000 to support roof replacements and repairs for those still feeling the economic strain caused by COVID-19. Funding will help pay for a temporary project manager to oversee the projects. 

    In addition, both Junior Achievement and Southern Indiana Mentoring Academy (SIMA) 100 were awarded $50,000 each. A portion of Junior Achievement’s grant will underwrite the salary for a part-time Learning Loss Coordinator, who will develop a strategic, collaborative plan that incorporates JA’s programming into learning loss intervention across the five county region. SIMA 100’s grant will cover family engagement programs and mentor recruitment. Incorporated in 2019, SIMA 100’s mission is to promote strong interpersonal skills, while reasserting a sense of positive hope for local youth within our community, specifically children of color. 

    Applications for funding relief, recovery, and restoration efforts will be accepted until August 17th at www.covidresponsefund.com. The final disbursements from the Fund will be made in September.
