The County of San Mateo has worked with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation to create a San Mateo County-specific fund named the
San Mateo County Strong Fund
. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved an initial $3 million in Measure K funds to launch the
San Mateo County Strong Fund
. The purpose of this fund will be to address the swift and unexpected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic at a very local level by helping the following most-impacted groups.
We are asking folks who are able to do so,
please make a tax-deductible donation today at
www.SMCStrong.org
to support individuals and families, non-profits serving our most vulnerable residents, small business owners, and self-employed residents hit hardest by California’s state-wide COVID-19
Shelter in Place
order.
ALL
money donated will stay inside San Mateo County and not one penny will go elsewhere, so you can have confidence that you are helping your neighbors and the local small business and self-employed people in your community. In challenging times like this, it’s more important than ever that we all pull together in San Mateo County.
