Support ACT’s Initiatives

Alexandria Resilience Fund
The Alexandria Resilience Fund was created to respond to community needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funded by the CARES Act, the Alexandria Resilience Fund is a partnership between the City of Alexandria and ACT for Alexandria, the city’s community foundation. Thousands of Alexandrians, local businesses, congregations, and the City provided more than $5.76M in COVID-19 emergency support. The Alexandria Resilience Fund is now allocating $25,000 for Mini-Grants to assist with COVID-19 vaccine outreach and awareness-building activities across communities in Alexandria. Investing in outreach to specific populations is necessary as language, literacy, and technology barriers pose a challenge for many community members to understanding the benefits of the vaccine and accessing and navigating the registration and appointment system.
