Immigrants living in San Francisco are set to receive financial relief after Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey announced he will be donating over $15 million to the city's COVID-19 relief fund. According to Mayor London Breed, a portion of the donation will go toward undocumented immigrants.

The donation will greatly help in supporting the city's food security, housing access, and business and worker support programs designed for undocumented and mixed-status San Francisco residents, Breed said. He thanked the social media giant's CEO through a tweet.

Gives2SF is a state-run charity organization which received tax-deductible donations in support of COVID-19 public health challenges. This includes aiding people who are facing economic hardship caused by the lockdown guidelines. It also aims to keep small businesses from permanently closing.

Dorsey's contribution equates to double the amount of money given to the charity. Breed believes the donation will help the city acknowledge and provide support to the people who are struggling in this time of need.

Dorsey's recent donation followed a $10 million pledge to help prisons in the United States deal with the pandemic. The money went to REFORM Alliance. The organization is led by CNN analyst Van Jones and was co-founded by Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and more.

The relief fund will reportedly be used to purchase personal protective equipment (PPE) including face masks which will be distributed to inmates, health care workers, and corrections employees and staff.

In the previous weeks, Dorsey has donated to numerous organizations that also supported the Latin community.

He donated $167,000 to the Hispanic Federation Non-Profit Emergency Assistance Fund of Puerto Rico. The money will reportedly help support health clinics in Puerto Rico. It will also go towards building and improving triage shelters, as well as purchasing medical supplies and equipment for over 20 clinics across the island. The organization previously received $333,000 through the Clara Lionel Foundation and Sean Carter Foundation.

The Twitter CEO also donated to Dia de la Mujer Latina which is a non-profit organization that aims to promote healthy behaviors within the Latino community. They offer education, early detection screening, and preventive care interventions. They received $415,000 from the #startsmall LLC and an additional $85,000 from beyGOOD. The money will go towards launching the Telehealth Community Navigation Program designed to address racial disparities and health inequities that may have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the United States.

Freedom House, a U.S.-based, government-funded non-profit organization, also received over $50,000 in donations from the CEO. The fund will be used to support illegal immigrants who survived persecutions. They aim to help undocumented residents who are currently seeking asylum through temporary accommodation. Freedom House also received an additional $50,000 from the Clara Lionel Foundation.

The donations came through Dorsey's global COVID-19 relief fund which has accumulated more than $1 billion in April. The CEO shared a sheet where all monetary flows are documented. The report is accessible by the general public. In total, #startsmall LLC has dispersed a total of $39 million to 48 different organizations around the world.Want to read more? Check these out:
