- Stay informed of changes impacting the lives of our growing constituents.
- Support organizations and grassroots groups with innovative approaches to addressing ongoing issues.

Despite COVID-19 health and safety concerns, our board continued its work. Like so many other organizations, we relied on technology to continue to meet and support our grantees throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic. In fact, early on, we created a new grant program, The Walter Jennings Emergency Grant, to get funds to our grantees who had people on the ground and needed equipment and supplies to keep them working and safe and continuing to care for their constituents.
