The fund was created in March 2020 during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the beginning, the goal was to support the local community in times of any crisis, including the coronavirus pandemic but has since shifted to look at unmet needs of places providing services to those affected by the pandemic, those who have lost revenue due to the pandemic and supporting financial recovery for other organizations as they transition their services.

Organizations included eligible nonprofits, government entities, and schools.
