Presentation Slides

Candid and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) recently released a report "Philanthropy and COVID-19: Examining two years of giving" to see how philanthropy has responded to the pandemic. In partnership with the Council on Foundations, CDP and Candid presented a webinar that highlighted the key learnings and provided recommendations for funders as the world continues to struggle with the impact of COVID-19. 

Key questions addressed included: 

• How have funders - in the U.S. and globally - responded financially to the pandemic?
• What are the trends in giving and how have they changed over time?
• What do funders need to focus on in the next few years? 
• What are the trends in grantmaking practices that have come in response to the pandemic?
