Foundation COVID-19 Statement

As the current and potential impacts of the COVID-19 virus continue to evolve, the health and safety of our community is our greatest concern. As a result, we are cancelling the Foundation’s upcoming in-person gatherings (including Around the Table South, which had been scheduled for March 19-24^th) and will reschedule for a future date. We are encouraging all of our partner organizations to consider cancelling in-person gatherings in the coming weeks. Foundation staff will be working remotely for the next few weeks – we encourage you to contact us via email during this time.

We understand that COVID-19 may interfere with scheduled activities for those holding grants. We encourage you to make smart decisions and delay/postpone activities or request extensions as necessary if an element of your grant will present risk. Please reach out to us one-on-one if you have questions/concerns regarding your grant or services.
