Today, REDF awarded COVID-19 Relief Grants totaling $450,000 to 15 of our social enterprise partners located across the country.
These $30,000 general operating grants will be paired with technical assistance to ensure that our partners receive both immediate financial relief and support to retain employees and sustain their businesses during this uncertain time.
The economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic has hit businesses across the country hard. At the same time, the jobs and support that employment social enterprises provide for individuals overcoming barriers to employment will become even more critical. We are committed to ensuring the sector is ready to meet the increased demand.
