First key point is, if you already give to organizations, now is the time to continue your support and, if possible, increase your commitments to them.
The organizations you love are feeling the effects of this disruption, and they depend on your continued support.

Secondly, COVID-19 has shocked an already-fragile economy. Systems thinking matters more than ever — we need to fund both immediate concerns (like ventilators and personal protective equipment), and also long-term change that prioritizes the most vulnerable.
This list tends to focus on organizations working with those we think will be hardest hit by the present & looming economic crisis, which will long outlast the effects of the virus:
Communities of color, low-income families, those with housing instability, the differently abled, undocumented persons, and newcomers to the United States will undoubtedly be disproportionately negatively affected by the bottoming-out of the economy.
There are countless organizations doing critical work — this list is in no way exhaustive. These are organizations in which we believe, and that we, or people we trust, recommend.
One immediate way to support multiple nonprofits is through @commonfutureco which launched a $250K COVID-19 rapid response fund for organizations in its national network that support small businesses, social enterprises, & entrepreneurs in economically marginalized communities...
Within 72 hours, they received forty-three applications from 20 states, Indian Country, and Washington, D.C., requesting nearly $1.65M and resulting in $1.4M of unmet need. If you would like to contribute to their rapid response fund, please email: ceo@commonfuture.co
