COVID-19 and Philanthropy’s Response

On March 18th 2020, over 124 participants joined PFC for a webinar to share some current philanthropic practices for responding to COVID-19. Not-for-profit community organizations and charitable entities will need the collective contribution of Foundations to prepare, manage and recover from the COVID-19 emergency. This webinar concentrates on programming and the changing needs of grantees. Please note that this webinar is NOT an update or informational session on COVID 19 itself.
