COVID-19 Response

Hello Readers,

If you’re reading this message, then you have likely encountered the many disappointments and frustrations that have come with the COVID-19 pandemic. CFUnited 2020 and countless other professional development opportunities have been cancelled. In spite of the inconveniences, this has also been a time of personal growth and opportunity for the philanthropic sector to make an enormous impact.

Today, I received the newsletter from the National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers, which included a blog post (https://nncg.org/2020/04/covid-19-resource-central-webpage/) featuring my work on CMF’s COVID-19 Resource Central webpage. I am very grateful for the recognition. However, I am even more grateful for the opportunity to contribute my expertise to assist grantmakers nationally in navigating the COVID-19 crisis.

If you have not had the chance, please visit CMF’s COVID-19 Resource Central webpage (https://www.michiganfoundations.org/covid-19-resource-central) to learn more about the incredible work of Michigan’s grantmakers throughout the crisis. The webpage is designed to provide instant access to urgently-needed answers and resources for grantmakers, as well as a full list of Michigan-based relief funds and policy updates.

Stay safe!

Most sincerely,

Brittany Kienker
