The Good Influence Fund for Corona Relief
Betches Media's Good Influence Fund for Corona Relief connects our community to groups fighting on the front lines of an unprecedented crisis.
We’ve chosen four organizations that have proven they have mobilized quickly to address the range of challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Your contribution will be split evenly among them to support their vital work.
Here’s how they’ll use your donations to support those impacted by COVID-19:
BStrong and GEM: Bethenny Frankel’s BStrong partnered with the Global Empowerment Mission to source and distribute desperately needed Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for health care workers. They've raised more than $4.5 million in funds and distributed $18 million in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) nationwide, including 1.1 million hazmat suits and 700,000 masks to 22 different states.
World Central Kitchen: Founded by famed chef José Andrés, WC Kitchen has prepared more than 3 million nutritious, grab-and-go meals to families experiencing food insecurity in 155 cities across the country while providing work for hundreds of restaurant workers who've lost income. They continue to provide 200,000 meals a day.
One Fair Wage: Millions of service workers have been laid off as a result of COVID-19. 100% of donations to One Fair Wage’s Emergency Coronavirus Tipped and Service Worker Support Fund go *directly* to workers like restaurant and hospitality staff who rely on tips for survival.
National Domestic Violence Hotline: Sheltering in place is not safe for everyone. The NDVH uses donations to support its 24/7 hotline to counsel victims and survivors through emergencies and connect them to immediate safety when needed in 170 languages.
