# Covid-19 Doesn’t Stop Generosity: Givers at the National Christian Foundation Mobilize

*In Response to Pandemic, Christian Non-Profit Sees 31% Increase in Grants Over Same Timeframe Last Year*

Thousands of givers at the National Christian Foundation (NCF) are stepping up during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing assistance when churches and charities need it the most. In March and April alone, givers mobilized more than $196 million in grants from their NCF [Giving Funds](https://www.ncfgiving.com/solutions/giving-fund/) (donor-advised funds), and critical resources went to efforts like disaster relief, providing for the homeless and the hungry, medical research, and local churches across the country.

NCF’s grants were up $50 million—a 31% increase—compared to the same timeframe last year.

“*Givers at the National Christian Foundation responded immediately in the face of crisis, creatively finding ways to make an impact through their resources during the COVID-19 pandemic,”* said NCF’s Chief Operating Officer, Diane Morone. “*We’re blessed to serve some of the most generous people in the world and help them make a strategic, timely difference for the causes they care about most.*”

In March and April alone, more than 46,000 grants were distributed to a variety of organizations. Assistance included:

- $17.1 million in grants to humanitarian aid and disaster relief (400% increase over  
    March/April 2019)
- More than $650,000 raised for smaller churches in need due to COVID-19, as part of the [Churches Helping Churches](https://www.ncfgiving.com/stories/the-urgent-need-for-churches-to-help-churches/) initiative
