Just as the Covid crisis exploded last year, we called on philanthropy to increase giving and do it quickly to mitigate the worst of the social and economic harm unfolding before our eyes.

Encouragingly, in the immediate days, weeks, and months that followed, foundations across the United States made commitments to maintain or increase levels of giving.
