Cincinnati COOKS! Pivots during COVID-19!

COVID-19 temporarily shifted the focus of the 2019 grant recipient - Cincinnati COOKS! and the Freestore Foodbank. The program completed one class and was unfortunately put on hold during the shutdowns. The COOKS! staff and trainees re-organized to meet a demand for food that was of 2-3 times higher than a normal month. Cincinnati COOKS! classes are expected to resume tentatively in July.

2020 Grant Cycle Opens August 1
Mark your calendar as the 2020 Grant Cycle will open on August 1st. Given the coronavirus, the P&G Alumni Foundation is compressing and simplifying its 2020 grant cycle. We are sensitive to the fact that many nonprofits are experiencing service disruptions and staffing issues that can likely affect their ability to fully participate if it were to be held on our normal schedule. If your organization has a mission of economic empowerment and a P&G Alum is actively involved with the nonprofit, we encourage you to apply.
Webinar: Expanding Your Nonprofit's Capacity during COVID-19!
P&G Alumni Foundation joined forces with grant recipient, Street Business School, to present a webinar: "Expanding Your Nonprofit's Capacity during COVID-19!" Tailored to recent grant partners and their P&G Alumni Grant Champions, the webinar provided an overview of the current giving landscape; best practices in communications and fundraising given COVID-19; practical examples and tips turning theory into practice; and links to helpful resources and tools.
"Fabulous! Webinar was packed full of useful, specific tips!"
