The City of Hayward signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) with the East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) in April 2020 to launch the Hayward Community Relief Fund to sustain and protect residents and businesses during the COVID-19 health emergency. There is $135,795 remaining in the Hayward Relief Fund.
