Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 38th in a series of weekly COVID-19 (Coronavirus) response briefings for faith leaders. Today's program welcomed San Francisco Foundation Vice President of Programs Elena Chávez Quezada and Walter & Elise Haas Fund Senior Program Officer Stephanie Rapp who presented on the impact COVID has had on philanthropy - more specifically, how their foundations have responded, what they are seeing happening with the hundreds of organizations their foundations support and what they anticipate happening in 2021.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, SFIC Board Chair and Shanti Project Executive Director Kaushik Roy, Center for Social Justice at GLIDE Senior Director Miguel Bustos, San Francisco African American Faith-Based Coalition (SFAAFBC) Executive Director Rev. Dr. Jonathan Z.M. Butler, SF Community Agencies Responding to Disaster (SF CARD) Program Manager Heather Lee, and Islamic Networks Group (ING) Bay Area Director Ishaq Pathan. Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and the COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center Community Partners Group Coordinator John McKnight, the COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center Virtual Outreach Team Coordinator Tré Russell Allen, Producer Alissa Kerawala, assisted by Lead Sharon Walton.
Please join us next Thursday at 8:30 am for a special briefing, at which time we will hear from the San Francisco Department of the Environment on measures being taken to update the City's Climate Action Plan in these times of the COVID-19.
