Coffee Talk: Grantmaking Revelations from the COVID-19 Pandemic
The first wave of funding in response to COVID-19 was largely distributed to nonprofits and businesses for emergency general operating support. As with other emergency situations of national or global scale, successive waves of funding often move beyond immediate needs.
We pose the following questions to the audience during this Coffee Talk:
- How is second wave funding adapting to lessons learned and community needs revealed by the pandemic?
- What changes in funding strategy or priority has data revealing the disproportionate effects of COVID-19 on vulnerable populations caused, if any?
- How can funders move beyond normal and use the current crises to get better?
