Makin' Lemonade Fund

We are a collective of young, like-minded, passionate and ambitious Gen Z’ers & Millennials who want to make a difference during these unfortunate times. We remember the days of making our own Lemonade Stands to help the community, and always loved the hustle... Our team is composed of college students, and recent graduates who felt the importance of making an immediate difference. We have already partnered with over 50 student bodies including: Michigan, Harvard, Cornell, Penn State, Wisconsin, Indiana, Stevens Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, Ohio State, Wake Forest and Rutgers among others. With social distancing in place, we came together to make our lemonade stand in a different way. We are going to make lemonade online and we are excited to spread our mission with the greater community. We plan to donate to three incredible organizations that can help prevent, treat and support all of those affected by the COVID-19 crisis. We will be equally distributing the amount we raise to the following organizations: The CDC Foundation: Donations made to the CDC Foundation’s COVID-19 response support deploying emergency staffing to U.S. public health agencies, funding medical supplies, increasing lab capacity, providing support to vulnerable communities, and much more. The Direct Relief Fund: Direct Relief is coordinating with public health authorities, nonprofit organizations and businesses in the U.S., China and globally to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) and essential medical items to health workers responding to coronavirus (COVID-19). Feeding America: The Feeding America network is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, working to connect people with food and end hunger. Donors, staff, and volunteers all play an important role in our efforts to end hunger in the United States. Every dollar raised from the COVID-19 response fund will be used to get food and funds to local food banks across the U.S.
