Local funders are partnering with the New York-based Edna McConnell Clark Foundation on the RISE (Readiness, Implementation, Sustainability for Effectiveness) Partnership, a two-year effort to invest $3 million to build the capacity of Philadelphia-area nonprofits to evaluate their impact.
Over $2 million goes to 44 regional nonprofits in first round distributions. Grants will be awarded weekly as crisis continues and challenges grow.
In fourth round of distributions, 101 regional nonprofits receive more than $3.25 million, including ten organizations providing medical care to vulnerable communities.
Special event aims to raise funds to support rapid response effort to aid nonprofits on the frontlines of COVID-19.
Partners funding the report acknowledge that the risk the sector faces today during a pandemic is the result of a system that was not financially stable pre-COVID that must be fixed.
