Funds will be directed to support the
at-risk populations and communities that continue to be affected by
the global spread of COVID-19
TORONTO, May 3, 2021 /CNW/ - As the devastating impacts of
COVID-19 continue to affect many parts of the world, including
India, RBC will commit
$250,000 to the WHO Foundation to
support COVID-19 community response efforts in some of the most
vulnerable communities globally.
Donations will be directed to communities in countries currently
facing significant risks related to COVID-19 and will be used for
programs serving at-risk populations. This includes addressing the
urgent need for medical supplies and vaccines, as well as providing
other necessary services that are vital during these extremely
challenging times.
During the last year, RBC has contributed more than $11 million dollars in emergency COVID-19
community response efforts while also working actively with our
community partners, subject matter experts, and the public and
private sectors to continue delivering targeted support where it's
needed most.
