COVID-19: How Philanthropy Can Stand Up for Vulnerable Populations
2 p.m. ET/ 1 p.m. CT
With COVID-19 there seem to be more questions than answers, particularly for funders who want to respond effectively and efficiently. This series of webinars brings 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.
Our fourth COVID-19 Series webinar on Tuesday, May 26 at 2 p.m. ET explored the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and its impact on nonprofits and vulnerable communities. The webinar addressed the limitations of governmental responses and how philanthropists can act directly, and act as advocates, for better protections for at-risk populations, including approaches for developing a public policy agenda for philanthropy, based in equity. The webinar was presented in partnership with The Humana Foundation.
CDP Director of Strategic Initiatives Sally Ray moderated the discussion and panelists included:
- Aaron Dorfman, president and CEO, National Committee on Responsive Philanthropy
- Ruth Madrigal, principal at KPMG, Washington National Tax Office
