Slow the Spread
As Stark County navigates the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Stark Community Foundation is committed to keeping our employees, their families and our community safe and healthy. As of Friday, March 20, 2020, Stark Community Foundation’s staff has moved to complete remote operations until further notice to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Although our physical office is closed, our staff remains hard at work helping donors give during this unprecedented time. Please continue to reach out to our staff by calling or emailing us. You can also contact us at info@starkcf.org.

Apply for Funding
To help local funders stay informed of the growing need and to streamline the requests for financial support, a mini-grant application has been created to capture how area organizations have been impacted by COVID-19. Applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis and grants will be awarded to local organizations responding to the rapidly-evolving outbreak of COVID-19 in our community.

This funding opportunity is intended to fill needs that are currently not being addressed through federal, state and local governmental resources. While grants cannot be made directly to individuals and families, critical resources will be awarded to organizations that directly support neighbors in need.

To date, more than $1.1 million has been deployed to area organizations affected by COVID-19. Learn more about the COVID-19 grantees:
