As we enter year three of the COVID-19 pandemic, companies can play an even more profound role in helping society cope with the disease even as we move forward on other critical topics facing the world. Corporate citizenship practitioners are essential in these efforts, including grappling with the most efficient and effective ways to help get aid of all types, including vaccines, where it is most needed and when it is most needed.

Charities Aid Foundation America (CAF America) is non-profit organization that accepts funds from US donors and, with their recommendations, makes grants to nonprofit organizations and projects worldwide. CAF America helps corporate citizenship practitioners make smart decisions and facilitate the actual giving. Through the lens of disaster philanthropy, and over the course of the pandemic, it has surveyed nonprofits and NGOs of all sizes to track their needs, strategies, and donor engagement to enable stakeholders to take a more coordinated approach to aid distribution.

By watching this webcast, you will:

• Gain an understanding of the status of the pandemic overall, vaccine rollouts, corporate involvement, and the severe challenges that have impacted charities worldwide.
• Hear from those on the ground about how the support enables them to address COVID-19 as it continues to manifest locally and learn what additional resources they need to tackle the ongoing health and associated crises.
• Better understand how relieving service providers of the burden of fundraising can help them be more effective in meeting their mission — especially with greatly diminished fundraising ability in severely impacted countries.
• Take the lessons from the effects of COVID-19 on the charity sector and understand how to apply these lessons to future disaster and crisis grantmaking.
