Regional COVID-19 Response Dashboard
Developed by Philanthropy Network in partnership with the Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania, the regional dashboard is a collaborative effort to track and analyze more than $40 million in grants from 13 shared funds established to address COVID-19 across the region. The dashboard was specifically designed for funders and nonprofits to answer questions about the flow of philanthropic support to address the effects of COVID-19 in Greater Philadelphia, including where grants were directed, who the funds were meant to help, what community needs were being addressed, which organizations received support and where there were gaps in funding.
