ATTENTION NONPROFIT PARTNERS:  NEW 10-MINUTE SURVEY
“Emerging from COVID-19 Stronger: Nonprofit Needs for Building Skills and Capacity”
TAKE THE SURVEY

Your voice matters. We need YOU to help identify the overarching impacts of COVID-19 on your organization so that we can emerge from the pandemic even stronger–together.

The Cape Cod Foundation, along with community foundations across the Commonwealth, has joined forces with Massachusetts Nonprofit Network (MNN) and Philanthropy Massachusetts to survey the needs of nonprofit organizations. The network’s goal is to inform resources, training, and support to build capacity and strengthen the sector across all our communities.

The information you provide will help us identify the overarching impacts of COVID-19 on your organization and shape a plan to support Cape Cod nonprofits as we recover, re-imagine, and rebuild. The survey will also allow us to identify opportunities to leverage partnerships and resources statewide to further strengthen our local organizations.

• The survey will take about 5-10 minutes to complete.
• Please complete the survey by Tuesday, June 30 at 5 pm.
• Answers are confidential; information will be shared in the aggregate.
• For questions about the survey, email Fernando Martinez, Marketing and Communications Manager at MNN: fmartinez@massnonprofit.org

CURRENT GRANTMAKING

Throughout the pandemic, we have been making grants proactively based on what we learn from your input and community conversations. We are also sharing this information with other funders to increase the sphere of knowledge, influence, and assistance beyond the Foundation.  Stayed tuned here for updates.
