Dealing with Covid-19 as a Community Foundation
Community Foundations across NZ and across the world are considering how they might help to shape community response and steer philanthropy to where it's needed most. In a way, this is our moment to respond, including how we harness the goodwill and people's desire to give, and through our thoughtful grant-making and the stories we share with heart.
CFNZ will arrange group meetings as required as the situation continues to develop. There are already loads of really useful resources out there, which will help to formulate your thinking around planning for collecting community funds and distributing them thoughtfully and with impact.
