As of mid-March 2020, COVID-19 is now a world-wide pandemic. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 145 countries around the globe are confronted with outbreaks of the virus, and here in the United States multiple communities now live under declared states of emergency.
Fundamental to philanthropy is the core belief that donors can and should be a force for good. Pandemics reveal the worst of the human condition–anxiety, fear, suffering and death–and have grave social and economic consequences that last well beyond the crisis period. As the impact of COVID-19 continues to unfold, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors is at the forefront of ongoing conversations with both large foundations and private donors addressing the evolving needs facing communities across the country. Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisory believe this goes beyond traditional notions of disaster philanthropy to emphasize resilience funding that builds the resilience of individuals, families, and communities to weather the crisis under conditions of extreme uncertainty, volatility, and complexity.
In partnership with Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisory (RPA), Vanguard Charitable is pleased to provide you with RPA’s insights for responding philanthropically to coronavirus crisis and specific charity recommendations across five crucial funding areas.
