This is life in the middle of a pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It has brought me comfort to return to GlobalGiving\u2019s founding purpose: to connect amazing people doing hard but important work. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19 is now present in nearly every country in the world. It has taken thousands of lives and now threatens millions of livelihoods. And it will require bold individual and collective actions to defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GlobalGiving, in this lens, has an important role to play, and we\u2019re rolling up our sleeves in service to you\u2014our community of amazing nonprofits, companies, and donors who have always believed a better world is possible. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coronavirus crisis is certainly unique. Unlike hurricanes, wildfires, and humanitarian catastrophes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/disasters\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">which GlobalGiving has responded to since 2004<\/a>, this crisis affects all of us, not just those of us in a particular geographic region. Yet, like other crises, it\u2019s already inspired incredible generosity from people of all means around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite staring into the unknown, ordinary people like you and our corporate partners are answering the call for help. The GlobalGiving community has raised millions of dollars for COVID-19 relief through our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/coronavirus-relief-fund\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\">Coronavirus Relief Fund<\/a> and generous corporate grants. Together, our community has sent emergency funding to China, Italy, South Korea, the United States, and elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dozens of our nonprofit partners are hard at work on the front lines of the crisis, protecting the most vulnerable people from the outbreak. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/emergency-response-to-the-coronavirus-2019-ncov\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">sending medical equipment<\/a> to coronavirus hotspots. They\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/coronavirus-hygiene-kits-to-600-refugees\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\">delivering soap to refugees<\/a> in camps who can\u2019t buy it. They\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/houston-harvey-recovery-direct-assistance\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">making sure children and seniors have hot meals<\/a>. If you have the means, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/coronavirus-relief-fund\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">please consider making a donation to support the fund<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most of our partners, however, aren\u2019t directly involved in frontline efforts to stop the coronavirus. They\u2019re deep in uncharted waters, too. <\/strong>Their economic struggle isn\u2019t making headlines or mentioned in press conferences. But their work\u2014<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/amazon-research-and-conservation-station\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\">to preserve the Amazon<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/help-for-south-indias-suffering-animals\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\">to rescue stray dogs<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/empower-women\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\">to shelter the homeless<\/a>\u2014has never been harder, and it must go on. Suddenly, they must find a way to fundraise without a gala, educate without a classroom, rally their staff without four walls to unite them\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GlobalGiving cannot singlehandedly make up for that loss, but we are committed to doing whatever we can. We\u2019re sending money on an expedited basis to COVID-19 responders and on our normal monthly schedule to other partners working on important causes around the world. We\u2019re adapting our project and grant reporting timelines to acknowledge the ripple effect of social distancing on programming (and everyday life). We\u2019re exploring additional virtual training and connection opportunities. <em>Simply stated, we\u2019re here to help.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In recognition of this period of hardship, GlobalGiving is making $1,000 microgrants to at least 100 vetted nonprofit partners in our community who tell us they need it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We won\u2019t ask them to fill out a lengthy grant application. We won\u2019t ask them to justify why with a lyrical essay. We won\u2019t ask them to beg for it in a perfectly crafted tweet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll simply ask them to tell us what they need in a few sentences. And then we\u2019ll trust them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll trust that they\u2019ll put the money, however inadequate, to good use. Trust that a little something extra at this difficult time is better than nothing. Trust that they know what their communities need right now better than anyone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And we\u2019d like to ask something of you, too. Can you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/microprojects\/covid-19-hardship-grants-for-nonprofits\/?rf=learn_viewpoints_alix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">make a flexible, no-strings-attached donation<\/a> to vetted nonprofits that need it right now?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope the first $100,000 from GlobalGiving is only the beginning.
