Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Donates $15 Million to SF’s COVID Relief Fund
After donating 1/3 of his net worth (around $1 Billion) for COVID-19 Relief Worldwide, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is putting more tech money into good use as he donated $15 million to Give2SF that has doubled SF’s Coronavirus relief fund in a single day.
On Tuesday, Mayor London Breed expressed the city’s gratitude to the Twitter CEO: “I am incredibly grateful for Jack Dorsey’s generous contribution to Give2SF and our efforts to support our most vulnerable residents during this public health crisis.”
The $15 million in funding from #StartSmall will:
- Support 5,000 households over three months with grocery gift cards, home-delivered and takeaway meals, and other related food supports;
- Provide at least 1,250 households with up to $3,000 for assistance meeting housing costs, including rent and utilities; and
- Provide financial relief for immigrant workers and provide 0% interest loans to small businesses through the San Francisco Hardship Emergency Loan Program.
Anyone interested in donating to San Francisco’s Give2SF Fund can do so at Give2SF.org.
$15mm to San Francisco’s Give2SF Response & Recovery Fund for food security, housing access, small business and worker support programs for undocumented, mixed status, and low-income San Franciscans. Thank you Mayor @LondonBreed! https://t.co/HSnx2XZwH4
