Our Partners
In addition to fundraising on behalf of RWCF, we will be meeting with nonprofit organizations across the US. Learn about their stories below.
The COCO Fund
The cocofund
In March 2020, March On Foundation launched the Covid Community (COCO) Fund to assist restaurant and hospitality workers impacted by Covid-19. Since then, they have distributed over 90 grants across 25 states.
As the U.S. continues to open up, the COCO Fund will continue their mission to help workers in need.
Please consider making a donation to the CocoFund here.
You can follow them on Instagram here to learn more about their grantees’ stories.
Restaurant workers’ Community Foundation (RWCF)
RWCF is an advocacy and action nonprofit created by and for restaurant workers. RWCF was founded in 2018 to advocate for – and raise funds for other nonprofits working toward – gender equity, racial justice, fair wages, and healthy work environments in the restaurant industry. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, RWCF’s additional focus is on supporting workers in crisis and small business owners with the Restaurant Workers COVID19 Crisis Relief Fund.
RWCF is America’s first nonprofit using the community foundation model to support people in a particular labor segment. We are a community dedicated to making the restaurant industry more hospitable to everyone. In our normal model (prior to the establishment of the crisis relief fund) one third of the funds we raise goes to our own community-building and advocacy efforts, one third to grantmaking to other nonprofits (ones that provide career training, advocate for fair wage policies and worker rights, or provide services for restaurant workers related to gender and racial equity, and mental health and substance abuse) and one third is allocated to an impact investing fund, with which we aim to positively affect worker rights in the industry.
