COVID-19: Place-based Grantmakers and Investing in Local Communities

About

With COVID-19 there seem to be more questions than answers, particularly for funders who want to respond effectively and efficiently. This series of webinars brings expert panelists together to address some of the most pressing issues, including getting money out the door quickly, supporting vulnerable populations and investing in local communities.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global disaster, but ultimately, every disaster begins and ends locally. Sponsored by Target, our third COVID-19 Series webinar on Tuesday, May 12 at 2 p.m. ET will explore place-based grantmaking and the importance of strengthening local communities and organizations to create a new philanthropic and nonprofit landscape, focused on recovery, that prioritizes equity, partnership and collaboration.

Panelists:

• Carmen James Randolph, Vice President for Programs, Greater New Orleans Foundation
• Maureen Lawless, Vice President and Director, Member Services, Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities
