The Fund

The pandemic has left none of us untouched.
For our healthcare workers, it has taken a particularly tremendous toll—including the loss of life.
The Frontline Families Fund provides direct financial support and educational scholarships to the children of healthcare workers who have lost their lives to COVID-19.
Why Now?
There are few who understand the impact of COVID-19 better than world-renowned epidemiologist Dr. Michael Osterholm. He envisioned this fund, recognizing the grave-risk that health care workers face both now and in the future.

Who We've Lost

This pandemic has disproportionately impacted those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), causing higher mortality rates and illuminating how racial inequities have life-and-death consequences.
