With COVID-19 there seem to be more questions than answers, particularly for funders who want to respond effectively and efficiently. The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) is hosting a series of seven webinars to bring 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 has touched everyone, but the youngest and oldest among us are being disproportionately affected. The fifth webinar on Tuesday, June 9 at 2 p.m. ET explored how these two groups are being impacted by the pandemic – older adults, from a mortality and morbidity perspective, and young people due to a disruption of childcare and education. The webinar also addressed overarching concerns, including nutrition and health care access, and how philanthropy can help meet these needs.
CDP Vice President Regine A. Webster moderated the discussion and panelist included:
- Elaine Ryan, AARP
- Dr. Lynette M. Fraga, Child Care Aware of America
The webinar was presented in partnership with IMC Chicago Charitable Foundation and was co-sponsored by Council on Foundations, Grantmakers in Health, National Center for Family Philanthropy, Grantmakers in Aging, the Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities, National VOAD, InterAction and United Philanthropy Forum.
The next webinar on June 23 will focus on managing a global response to the pandemic. Register: [ Ссылка ]
