Original Article Posted March 30, 2020:

Some significant strides were made last week in the passing of the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the “CARES Act” which has specific relief outlays for 501(c)3 organizations. We are hopeful that this Act will provide much needed relief for the churches, schools, day cares, camps and other related ministries we serve.

Sutton Turner, with The Vanderbloemen Network, is encouraging churches to move quickly in preparing their applications.

Some great organizations we know and trust have already come out with some great information about the Act and how it will impact your ministry.
