The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus created a health crisis. Federal and state governments’ reactions to this challenge, however, precipitated an economic crisis that will linger past the spread of the disease.

The Growth and Resilience Project is a program at DonorsTrust meant to serve as a rapid funding catalyst for projects focused on the key areas of policy needed to get America back on its feet. These include employment and job creation; economic deregulation; reducing barriers to entry, especially in education and healthcare; and countering narratives to crisis intervention and government overreach. Grants will range from $5,000-$50,000. Priority is given to projects that are scalable, practical and targeted with national and not just regional implications.

Further information—both for potential donors to the project and potential grantees—is available at donorstrust.org/resilience.
