Stepping Forward Update
Work to Address COVID-19, Advance Racial Equity Progresses
October 19, 2021
In just a few months, Stepping Forward, The Foundation’s $26 million commitment to address COVID-19 and to advance racial equity, has made great strides. A special appropriation from the endowment has enabled both the expansion of existing and the launch of new grants programs. The expanded resources have allowed The Foundation to:
- double the amount of responsive general operating support grants
- augment resources to the Greater New Haven COVID-19 Fund, which awarded a round of grants in April
- launch the BIPOC Cohort for Nonprofit Leadership program
- launch the REACH through the Arts awards
- along with other gifts, award grants from the newly-formed Basic Needs Fund
