May 4, 2020

Today, we’ve announced a global response to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, farmers, and families globally who urgently need financial assistance due to COVID-19. This fund is supported by actress Sofia Vergara along with partners like Hitachi and the Hiscox Foundation, and will focus on providing direct funds to vulnerable populations like minorities, women, and those in isolated areas.
