The Baird & Warner real estate services company is contributing $150,000 to the Chicago Community COVID-19 Response Fund.

The company announced Tuesday that the donation will come from its philanthropic arm, Good Will Network, in partnership with the Stephen W. and Susan M. Baird Foundation.

The COVID-19 Response Fund was launched by the Chicago Community Trust and the city of Chicago and United Way of Metro Chicago to help support nonprofit organizations across the region. Donated funds assist agencies and individuals that help ensure families can access basic needs, such as emergency food and supplies, mortgage and utility assistance, and direct financial assistance due to recent job loss as a result of coronavirus outbreak.

Since creating the Good Will Network in 2002, Baird & Warner has donated nearly $3 million to Chicago-area nonprofits focusing on housing-related causes.
