The site spans January 1st, 2020 when early reports were emerging, through December 31, 2023. News results focus on a single year from March 2020 through March 2021. The site has been archived and will receive no further updates, but will remain accessible as a resource for information on the sector’s efforts in response to the pandemic.

Additional resources from other organizations
With an increase in hardships due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, organizations have created resources for nonprofits and foundations on how to address the impact of the virus. In an effort to avoid duplication of existing lists and resources, we are compiling this list with a focus on umbrella philanthropy and nonprofit-serving organizations.
Organizations around the globe have surveyed foundations, civil society organizations, and individuals to learn more about how the pandemic has impacted them. Candid has aggregated these surveys in one list.
