Philanthropy’s Pandemic Response and Lessons Learned: Conversation with Local Foundations

The COVID-19 pandemic has given us an opportunity to reflect upon our work in philanthropy and what we must do to maximize our impact as we look ahead towards recovery.

Our President Maria Pesqueira and Director of Programs Nora Garcia recently engaged in a conversation with Grand Victoria Foundation and Illinois Children’s Healthcare Foundation and talked about what we have learned, how our grantmaking has shifted and the work that we plan to do going forward.

Watch the conversation here.
