The Foundation has cancelled the grant writing class that was scheduled for March 27, 2020 at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum.
We did this not because COVID-19 is rampaging in our community—it is not yet active here, so far as we know—but because we want to proactively slow down the rate of spread.
As you already know, many large group events have been cancelled for this spring. Classes in most universities are digital for the next term. Computer access at libraries is cancelled.
These actions help slow the spread to reduce the height of the infection curve. Note this will not stop it. Slowing it down helps reduce the impact on medical services, and that will save lives.
On the nonprofit side, digital content is being ramped up.
The Foundation has a grants catalog in the request stage that will be open for donations in May. You can participate from your own computer, no need to meet anyone face to face to post proposals now, promote it on social media, or to make donations during the month of May.
A presenter for Washington Nonprofits classes, Maryn Boess, is doing an 8-week, on-demand grant writing course that starts Monday, March 16th.
Members can sign up three people for the price of one (team work is always better) and members of Washington Nonprofits get a discounted price, $197 for up to 3 members, everyone else, $297.

So sign up, join Washington Nonprofits, sit back, remember to wash your hands frequently, bump elbows with friends when you meet (no hand shaking, no hugs, sorry), and buckle down.
We are going to get through this.
