Philanthropy's Response to the Coronavirus Outbreak

Coronavirus_horiz.png

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our lives and communities, philanthropy is adapting its practices and partnering to support a coordinated response among funders as well as with key public and government agencies. We have assembled some resources below for funders and partners interested in learning more about ongoing philanthropic response efforts. We will continue to monitor developments and share relevant news and resources on emerging opportunities for philanthropy to take action. If you have any information you think would be useful to share, please contact Amy Seasholtz.

View information about the COVID-19 Prevention & Response Fund, a community-led effort launched in April 2021 to invest in neighborhood-based solutions related to COVID-19 and equity imbalances exacerbated by the pandemic.

Philanthropy Network COVID-19 Funder Briefings
Beginning at the onset of the pandemic, Philanthropy Network hosted weekly (and then bi-weekly) briefings to provide an opportunity for funders to update each other on new and existing COVID-19 funding efforts in the five-county region, share what they were hearing from grantees and community partners and steps they were taking to respond, and explore opportunities for collaboration. We concluded our initial series of briefings on September 2, 2020. Links to recordings of individual sessions are below. To everyone who joined the briefings, espeically those who served as presenters, our sincere thanks for your interest and engagement, and for all you are doing to keep our region strong and resilient as we find our way through and beyond this crisis.

Our second series of briefings took place between January and April 2021.
