Over 70% of businesses in Downtown Boulder are locally owned and small. They employ our friends and family and those people are in a tough spot with all the closures right now. I'm raising money for the 2020 Downtown Boulder Employee Assistance Fund to support individual employees of downtown Boulder businesses who are experiencing immediate, unforeseen financial hardships due to COVID-19.
The Downtown Boulder Foundation (DBF) has created the 2020 Downtown Boulder Employees Assistance Fund, and gifts from the fund will be made available to individuals who are:
- Either employed by a downtown Boulder business and have had their hours reduced;
- Or Who were recently employed by a downtown Boulder business, but were let go as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
And: - Are experiencing severe financial distress resulting from significant loss of income from their downtown Boulder employment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As donations are received (and remain available) through the Downtown Boulder Employee Assistance Fund, DBF will fund one-time gifts of $500 to individual employees, nominated by their employer, whose incomes are being adversely affected due to business closings and/or operational adjustments during this crisis. All donations through the Downtown Boulder Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, are tax deductible. All donors will receive a donation receipt for tax purposes via email through the fundraising site.
Help me raise money to support this wonderful cause. Any donation helps!
