It has been 5 months since COVID-19 started. Thank you for all you are doing to lead your organizations and keep our communities safe and healthy.

The data from the first nonprofit survey we circulated helped inform local philanthropic and government partners on how to prioritize funding to assist local nonprofit organizations working to respond to this public health crisis.

In order to make sure that we understand and can adapt to changing community needs, we ask our Stanislaus County nonprofit leaders to fill out ROUND 2 of our survey. This information will help guide requests for funding, grant making and technical assistance (TA) responses, as well as advocacy for our sector as part of the reopening process.

As this data is analyzed, the information will be shared with others in positions to assist and respond.

Please note that this is ROUND 2 of our survey. Those who did not have a chance to take the first wave will still be able to provide critical information about their organization.

We request that you please complete this survey by September 15.

Thank you,

Marian Kaanon, CEO
Stanislaus Community Foundation
