During these troubling times it’s important that we give back and do our part to help others in need. I’ve compiled a list and made a video of some of the websites and places you can visit to do your part in helping out.

COVID-19 Project Donate

The places and details for donating in the video are as follows:

Over 670,000 people worldwide have been infected with COVID-19 and the total is growing exponentially each and every day even with us implementing social distancing practices.

I have put together a video above embedded from Youtube with helpful information for those who have the means to donate to in order to help fight the Corona virus pandemic:

Give4cdcf.org — Together our impact is greater (Lysol matching the first $2,000,000 in donations)

http://support.rmhc.org/site/PageNavigator/pw/Donation_Landing.html — Ronald McDonald House Charities local chapter. They rely on over 50,000 volunteers and now is a great time to step up if you can monetarily.

https://covid19responsefund.org/ — The Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund is a secure way for individuals, philanthropies and businesses to contribute to the World Health Organization led effort to respond to the pandemic.

The United Nations Foundation and the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation have created the solidarity fund to support WHO and partners in a massive effort to help countries prevent, detect, and manage the novel coronavirus — particularly those where the needs are the greatest.

Globalgiving.org/projects/coronavirus-relief-fund — $5,000,000 goal with $1,000,000 raised at the time of this piece.

https://disasterphilanthropy.org/donate-to-the-cdp-covid-19-response-fund/ — The Center for Disaster Philanthropy

Tiltify.com — 12 different organizations featured who are working to support those on the front lines that you can support.

wck.org/chefsforamerica — This is a great one and underlooked helping to feed families in need as the majority of the economy has been grounded to a near immediate halt.

Feedingamerica.org — In line with Chefs for America Feeding America is providing food for those in need with the help of your support.

https://www.compudopt.org/donations — As a founder of Edtech startup https://classupdates.com I believe this one is crucial and overlooked as giving students access to computers so they can continue learning outside of the classroom as schools are closed.

Savethechildren.org — Helping to provide food and books to childen affected by the CoronaVirus.

Unicefusa.org/mission/covid-19 — Providers of medical equipment to those on the front lines.

Care.org — Currently offering a 2X match on donations to those in the poorest part of the world. Think Gates foundation target country demographics.

Smile.amazon.com — Donates a portion of ELIGIBLE purchases to an organization of your choice but IMO you’re better off donating directly at a time like this.

https://secure.restaurantworkerscf.org/np/clients/restaurantworkerscf/donation.jsp?campaign=2&forwardedFromSecureDomain=1&test=true — To help restaurant workers and restaurants who are one of the hardest hit industries during this pandemic.

https://helloalice.com/resources/funding/coronavirus-care-fund — For in home care workers affected and out of work at this time.

https://www.hopelink.org/donate

http://www.musiciansfoundation.org/cv19-crisis/ — Way to help support entertainers such as musicians, composers, and performers while they’re laid off.

https://www.sweetrelief.org/covid-19-fund.html — An additional relief fund based out of California. If you can’t donate please do support DJ’s and listen in to the live streams and sets to cheer you up.

Your donations can help others in need during this Global Pandemic.

EVERYTHING HELPS. We can all do our part to come together and help those in need.

If there are additional places that I missed please do comment below.

Thank You,
