Pierre and Fort Pierre families and non-profit organizations needing a little financial assistance may be able to get some help from a new fund established by the Capital Area United Way.
Maxwell Strategies Chief of Staff Lindy Geraets says the Capital Area COVID–19 Community Response & Recovery Fund was established last month.
She says the Capital Area United Way is accepting applications at https://www.capareaunitedway.org/.
Geraets says they hope to raise $110,000 for the fund.
Families and nonprofit organizations should allow up to two weeks for their application to process. Organizations don’t have to be one of the Capital Area United Way’s member agencies to apply, but all funds must stay in the Pierre/Fort Pierre area.
