# ConvertKit The Creator Fund launches to help creators impacted by COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus

Everyone loves to brag about what companies are headquartered in their town. But what about fully remote companies with no actual headquarters? What about them? Well, I say if Portland boasts a bulk of employees — like say Automattic or Zapier — or if some key execs — like ConvertKit — live here in town, then we can claim them as a Portland company.

So I’m happy to share that [Portland company ConvertKit has taken an interesting step to help those creators impacted by the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus](https://convertkit.com/creator-fund).

> We've worked all day for something I'm really grateful to be able to do. This afternoon we're launching The Creator Fund. A $50,000 fund to help creators in need as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's our full announcement: <https://t.co/Haq6SubVp1> (1/n)

> Today we’re launching a $50,000 fund called The Creator Fund to support creators in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
> 
> COVID-19 has already had a wide impact beyond those directly impacted by illness. As the secondary consequences affect the economy for creators and small businesses, there isn’t a safety net for creators with nowhere else to turn when their business revenue is slowed or eliminated.
