On March 16, we announced our organization's commitment of $5,000 for students impacted by COVID-19. We received an overwhelming amount of interest from others who would like to know how they can support this mission as well.
With that, we have created the following donation page for any interest in submitting support beyond our $5,000 commitment.

Original Press Release
According to CNN Money, 40 percent of Americans cannot afford a $400 emergency expense. Understanding the impact that COVID-19 has had on our students nationwide, Walker’s Legacy and Walker’s Legacy Foundation are proud to provide micro-grants to assist college and university students with expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The $5,000 emergency grant fund will support eligible university students with food, transportation, moving, or other related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disbursements are being made between $25 and for up to $250 to ensure multiple students can receive aid to address emergency displacement and educational disruptions.
There are a limited number of disbursements available and funding will be available until all funds are dispersed. We are accepting donations to extend this aid to as many students as possible.
