GHR is honored to join our peers in philanthropy in supporting the Minnesota Disaster Recovery Fund (MDRF), created to support near and long-term community needs as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Developed out of discussions between The Minnesota Council on Foundations and Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation around the impact of a potential coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the state of Minnesota, the Minnesota Disaster Recovery Fund (MDRF) will fund both short and long-term needs that arise within communities, due to coronavirus or future disasters that occur within the state of Minnesota. Funds will be raised through philanthropic entities. To date, $5 million has been raised for the fund.

How GHR is Responding to COVID-19 in Our Communities

3/16/2020

0 Comments

 
As the world confronts the COVID-19 pandemic, GHR is centering on the needs of our partners. Solidarity has always been the driver of our work and, as a globally-focused foundation, our community – and thus, our attention – extends across those we support in Africa, Asia and in the United States. 
 
Beginning Monday, March 16, 2020, GHR’s physical offices in Minneapolis closed to honor the guidance of public health professionals in slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus. Our staff continues to operate remotely as we work closely with partners to mobilize resources towards marginalized communities, who are disproportionally affected by crisis in all its forms. We are currently responding to the immediate needs of our partners, both local and global, and are enabling additional flexibility in our grantmaking while anticipating and planning for longer-term needs.
                                                                                                                         
In this urgent and dynamic situation, we are continuing to learn how best to forge ahead and be of service to those in vulnerable situations. In learning what it truly means to partner boldly, GHR is expanding our COVID-19 response outside of our current grants, to ensure we are effectively addressing the widespread impacts of the disease.
 
While these are unprecedented circumstances, the effects of which will be long lasting, we are inspired by the abundance of creativity and love we have seen around us in response. We are reminded of our interconnectedness as a global community and the deep need for national and international solidarity, empathy, and compassion. As we collectively navigate this immense challenge, all of us at GHR will continue to learn how we might lead with love in every aspect of our efforts.
