Episode Highlights
- Sprucing up for video calls means putting on earrings these days.
- Some foundations are rising to the occasion and others…well…aren’t.
- Notes to Foundations:
- Make the applications easier.
- Stop requiring hard copies. It’s ridiculous and dangerous!
- When rapid response really means rapid applications, but not funding.
- Stop pulling funding or shifting funding away from organizations who are relying on it.
- RELEASE ADDITIONAL FUNDING. You have the GD funds.
- Recognize that the impacts of this crisis will be felt for a long time and that we need our nonprofit sector around for it.
- Communicate! Let your grantees know that you’re not worried about reporting, numbers, etc.
