Abstract
This article examines the extent that community foundations (CFs) are funding COVID-19 mitigation in their communities. We examine 877 of the 894 National Standards accredited community foundations in the United States for both general discretionary grantmaking to COVID-19 responsive discretionary grantmaking in a purposeful sample. Exploring the landscape of national standard certified community foundations COVID19 funding patterns in local communities presents as statistically significant. Exploratory research is presented regarding the connections between the CFs increase community well-being through early responsive discretionary grantmaking during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to mid-November 2020.
