– David Schorr, on CEP blog “Direct funding to support coronavirus response and research is only one part of what’s needed. Foundations focused on a broad array of causes need to consider the impact the crisis could have on our communities and the nonprofits that serve them.” [more] ([link removed]) —By Antony Bugg-Levine, Nonprofit Finance Fund, in Chronicle of Philanthropy “As the coronavirus spreads in our communities, governments must mount a fair and effective response that maintains public trust, is grounded in science, and leaves no individual – particularly the vulnerable – behind. This will not only better protect the health and security of each of us, but also the economy.” [more] ([link removed]) – Gregg Gonsalves, Yale Law School "Any natural disaster or public health emergency always takes an increased toll on those groups who were marginalized or excluded before the em
