During the pandemic, the Great Barrington Declaration coined the term “focused protection” – the idea that high‑risk people could just stay home while others lived normally. They promised grocery delivery, remote support, and safety. None of it came, so we’re building it ourselves.
The Focused Protection Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funding free and low-cost educational and social opportunities, mask blocs, and community care for COVID-cautious families.
We already facilitate a virtual, secular, inclusive homeschooling co‑op with more than 300 families, support mask blocs giving out respirators, and help teachers offer free and low-cost classes. Now, we need your help to keep growing.
