Q10. Negative Impacts from COVID-19:
Due to COVID-19 our organization had to close to on-site services for 4 months. During which time we still provided meals and off-site services to clients. This caused an increase in fuel expenses as well as packaging for meals. We also had to purchase additional disinfectants, germ shields, masks, gloves, isolation gowns, etc to ensure a safe return to on-site services. We have also had to pay salaries for staff to quarantine until they received a negative COVID test.
Q11. Top Three Concerns:
Fundraising
long-term stability
short-term stability
How Participation in Program Will Address Concerns:
With COVID-19 individuals are not as willing to support fundraisers. Our organization uses fundraising to support our client activities. We hope the program could help us address how to motivate individuals to give and help support or clients and our mission.
