The Resilience Fund

On April 29, 2020, CSW launched The Resilience Fund to respond to the unknown and ongoing demands of the COVID-19 pandemic with flexibility and strength, simultaneously addressing the immediate and future needs of CSW students, families, and faculty. The Resilience Fund remains a giving option for those who also wish to provide support towards expenses directly related to the COVID-19 response into the next school year. 

The community raised $264,000 in FY20 and these funds are already being put to good use for the safe reopening of campus for the 20-21 school year. Below are just some initiatives that are being funded so far to help with the safe reopening and ongoing school year. The Resilience Fund has and will continue to address COVID-19 related expenses in three specific areas:

  • Keeping our community whole by meeting the increased need for financial aid both for current and incoming families;
  • Providing faculty with professional development critical to continuing with innovative and meaningful distance and classroom learning; and
  • Helping CSW with the considerable costs of addressing the many public health-related adjustments we’ve needed to safely open campus.
