Our Essential Commitment Fund
Katrina updated the group on the health of the fund. There has been an increase of $40K since our last meeting. Almost all of the new gifts that have come in can be traced to our COVID-19 outreach.
B.
Donor Relations
Alumni work has been phenomenal. They have given us reflections from the frontlines of COVID-19 for our social media, created videos for our weekly Community Connections, and sent in videos of congratulations for the class of 2020.
The Caring Calls have been well received and have provided a powerful means of connection.
