ZURICH, May 4, 2021  The Chubb Charitable Foundation today announced that it is committing $500,000 to COVID-19 relief efforts in India, which is facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis from a record surge in coronavirus infections.  The support will go to the American India Foundation (AIF) to provide emergency medical equipment and supplies. 

Chubb will work with the AIF, a non-profit organization focused on social and economic change in India through affordable education, health care and economic opportunities, to provide critical medical resources immediately in areas most impacted by the pandemic.  The grant will help fund 100 beds for portable hospitals being deployed across the country. 

These funds are in addition to Chubb's overall donation of more than $10 million to global pandemic relief.  Chubb has worked with a range of partner organizations around the world to provide essential resources in areas facing the most acute needs.  

"As we watch with disbelief the COVID-19-related horror unfolding in India, we are committed to supporting those who are so tragically impacted by the pandemic," said Lori Dunstan, Executive Director of the Chubb Charitable Foundation. "With new infections topping 400,000 per day, the crisis has overwhelmed the country's healthcare system.  The grant from our foundation will add to the urgent efforts required to meet the immediate medical needs of those most affected."
