Background

The Boston Resiliency Fund is the City of Boston’s effort to help coordinate fundraising and philanthropic efforts to provide essential services to Boston residents whose health and well-being are most immediately impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. We are also working to help first responders and critical care providers.

Who the fund is for

The priorities of the Boston Resiliency Fund are to:

ensure Boston's children, families and seniors have access to food and other basic needs

provide support to first responders, front-line workers, and healthcare workers so they can effectively do their jobs and promote public health, and

provide technology to Boston students for remote learning.

While we are focused on basic needs and critical services, we recognize that this crisis is evolving quickly. The priorities of this fund may change as the needs of Boston residents evolve.
