COVID-19 Message to Grantees

TO ALL ACTIVE GRANTEES: as we all work to determine the precautionary measures we wish to take to guard against COVID-19 (the coronavirus), we wanted to make sure you saw our message to you:

The work you do is vital. It is life-saving, life-giving, visionary. We are proud to be actively supporting a portion of the work you currently do.

We are also aware–as you surely are, yourselves–that COVID-19 is quickly spreading across the world. We take the sober view that COVID-19 will soon make its way to Pittsburgh or wherever else you live and do your work, if it has not already.

Please know that we unequivocally support and encourage any precautionary measures you may take–or have been required to take–to guard against COVID-19 that results in the postponement, alteration or cancellation of any aspect of the grant we awarded your organization. We simply ask that you inform us about it as soon as you can.

We honor, often delight in, and need the work you do. We treasure you as partners and as individuals. If your work is interrupted, we trust it will only be temporary. The world–and your various communities, audiences, clients, constituencies–needs you healthy.

If there is anything we can do to help, please reach out to us. We are here, with you.

In community,
Jake, Tiffany and Idy
