RCNA COVID-19 Relief Fund

In this time of uncertainty, the Reed-Cooke Neighborhood Association has created the Emergency Relief Grant program to offer micro-grants to residents of Adams Morgan who have lost their jobs as a result of the Coronavirus Health Crisis and are unable to receive UI benefits.

The Reed-Cooke Neighborhood Association is raising money for the Relief Fund and will match donations up to $10,000. All donations are tax-deductible through RCNA’s 501(c)(3) status, and 100% of funds will be distributed to those in need.
