Rochester Area Foundation wishes to express our gratitude to Olmsted County for the recent allocation of $1,000,000 from the federal CARES Act to our Greater Rochester Area Together Covid-19 Community Relief Fund for area nonprofits. We appreciate the trust that Olmsted County has placed in us to distribute this money and their endorsement of our work with the nonprofit community. We are committed to administering these grants fairly and in a way that maximizes their impact on nonprofit organizations and the people they serve.

We are currently wrapping up the fourth round of grants from the private money donated to the Together Fund. The federal CARES Act resources allocated by Olmsted County will be available with a new set of criteria for applicants and will represent the fifth round of grants. Nonprofit organizations will be provided information via email as well as information posted on the Rochester Area Foundation website.
