Through its grantmaking, the Foundation distributes resources through local organizations for the public good. In 2020 ECF launched the Evanston Community Rapid Response Fund to foster a unified philanthropic response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Evanston community. New grant opportunities were launched to address immediate basic needs, support collective and enduring initiatives, and provide operating support for nonprofits. As Evanston moves forward toward rebuilding a more resilient and equitable community, ECF will continue to strategically align its grants and program with similar grant opportunities
