What is covidcap.com?
On March 26, 2020, CASE and CASE i3 at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business launched a searchable website to help any entrepreneur in the world, for-profit or nonprofit, struggling due to the economic impacts of COVID-19, to locate cash relief resources in their community.
On May 3, 2020, we relaunched the site at covidcap.com. It contained over 550 listings totaling over $1 trillion in grants, debt, and other cash equivalents. Click the image below to enter the site.

This absolutely amazing and commendable: a very sound, solid, sincere, scientific effort at bridging social enterprises with funding institutions. Trust that the initiative won’t suffer political and racial sobotage. As social entrepreneurs successfully find funders on this platform and their marriages consumated, you should devolop an effective system feedback mechanism to monitor the nuptials’ progress or retrogression as you engage speed and accuracy simultaneously.
Thanks Uduak. I wish I knew how to do that kind of tracking! I agree – learning what the money accomplished would be very useful. If there’s someone who has an idea of how to approach this, let me know!
Thank you
