A
Welcome
everyone:
this
is
Mayor
Steve
Haggerty.
We
are
back
for
another
coronavirus,
Q&A
session
I'm
delighted
today
to
have
Monique
Jones,
who
is
the
chief
executive
officer,
the
NC
community
foundation
with
us.
The
foundation
has
been
doing
some
tremendous
important
work
right
after
this
pandemic,
and
so
we're
gonna
have
a
conversation
today
about
some
of
that
work
and
what
they
see
the
needs
in
the
community
to
be
so
welcome.
Monique,
it's
great
to
have
you
thank.
A
Let's,
let's
first
talk
about
the
Colvin
19
response
fund
that
the
Community
Foundation
put
together
and
how
did
that?
What
was
the
genesis
of
that
idea?
How
did
it
come
to
be,
and
just
talk
to
our
viewers
about
how
we
stood
that
up
so
quickly,
very.
B
Quickly,
so
we
all
got
the
news.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
We
got
the
news
on
what
mid
March,
that
our
governor
was
instituting
a
stay
at
home
hoarder,
which
meant
the
pandemic
became
real
to
us
around
the
16th
of
March.
We
quickly
realized
that
we,
the
foundation,
was
in
the
middle
of
a
grant
making
cycle
and
the
needs
of
our
grantees
were
suddenly
changing.
B
A
One,
wonderful,
and
so,
if
you
think
about
it,
I
declared
the
local
state
of
emergency
on
Sunday,
March,
15
and
eight
days
later
we
had
this
fund
created
here
in
Evanston
and
then
one
of
the
first
things
that
you
all
did
is
you
went
out
and
surveyed
the
nonprofit
communities
to
understand
the
needs.
So
can
you
talk
to
us
just
a
little
about
that
survey?
What
you,
what
you
found
to
be
the
critical
essential
needs.
We.
B
Did
so
the
critical
essential
needs
were
homeless
is
the
homeless
population,
so
the
critical
essential
needs
were
people
who
are
already
vulnerable,
which
is
what
our
nonprofit
community
works
for
in
the
first
place.
So
what
we
saw
happen
was
our
homeless
shelter
needing
to
close,
so
that
we
could
prevent
the
spread
of
coronavirus.
B
What
that
means,
as
we
then
had
additional
stressors
to
house
people.
So
we
gave
large
dollars
to
our
organizations
that
are
good
at
doing
this,
which
is
connections
for
the
homeless,
the
YWCA
to
help
make
sure
our
most
vulnerable
populations
had
rules
over
their
heads
and
then
that
we
found
out
a
good
partnership
with
our
area
hotels.
So
that
was
the
basic
thing.
The
first
basic
thing,
the
other
is
that
as
people
lose
their
jobs
and
they
use
lose
their
income.
Their
ability
to
provide
food
for
their
families
just
decreases.
B
So
we
partnered
with
a
lot
of
our
restaurants
and
chefs,
and
anyone
who
was
willing
to
do
some
cooking
of
some
hot
meals
to
make
sure
people
still
had
food
on
the
table.
So
the
majority
of
those
funds
have
gone
to
housing
and
food
and
also
there's
an
educational
component
to
that.
But
those
are
abate.
Immediate
basic
needs
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
our
community
had
what.
B
Know
if
there
is
any
time
where
something
could
be
good,
when
it's
fast
and
furious,
it
is
the
Evanston
response
to
community
needs,
so
the
way
that
there
is
coalescing
around
the
need,
whether
it
was
by
communications
on
Facebook
or
donating
to
the
fund
and
understanding
and
trusting
the
foundation
to
do
the
groundwork.
Building
those
partnerships
with
our
nonprofit
communities
was
just
impressive.
So
to
this
fund
alone,
we've
had
over
250
new
donors
to
the
foundation.
B
That
to
me
means
that
we're
in
areas
that
they
probably
didn't
see
greatly
affected
them
before
this
touched
their
heart.
This
touched
their
heart
and
they
are
connected
more
with
the
nonprofit
organizations,
because
we
don't
hide,
of
course,
who
we
grant
dollars
to,
but
it
brought
out
a
piece
of
people
who
may
not
have
been
philanthropist
before
and
are
now
willing
to
do
a
little
bit
more,
even
in
times
when
we
don't
have
much
to
do
a
lot
with
right.
A
Right
I'm
so
impressed
with
the
Foundation's
ability
to
raise
a
ton
of
money
really
really
quickly
and
all
the
people
out
in
Evanston,
including
the
250
new
people
that
were
a
man
affiliated
with
the
foundation
before
that
have
supported
that
have
supported
this
and
I'm
really
impressed
with
your
nimbleness
and
how
quickly
you
put
it
together
and
how
quickly
you're
distributing
the
money.
Because
that's
why
people
are
giving
you
the
money
and
I
think
you've.
Actually
it's
been
beneficial
to
our
entire
community
to
have
one
central.
You
know
nonprofit
like
the
Community
Foundation.
A
That's
always
surveying
the
needs
in
the
community
and
to
be
able
to
have
money,
go
there
and
then
have
you
all
decide.
You
know
how
best
to
distribute
this
money
and
you
don't
have
all
of
those
conditions
that
a
government
would
have
if
the
money
we're
coming
to
us
and
we
were,
we
were
distributing
it.
So
I
think
that
that's
been
really
really
great.
What
do
you
think
I
mean
this
pandemic
is
far
from
over
and
it's
a
lot
of
anxiety
for
some
people
is
if
we
knew
the
end
date.
A
You
know
it'd
be
a
little
easy
here,
but
we
don't
know
the
end
date
we
worry
about.
Is
there
going
to
be
a
second
wave?
We
worry
about
whether
we
can
continue
to
can
practice
strict
social
distancing,
particularly
as
it
becomes
physical
distancing
where
we
can
get
out
and
be
in
smaller
groups
of
up
to
ten
people
which,
if
the
metrics
hold
will
be
the
case,
come
come
June,
but
this
is
going
to
go
on
for
a
while.
So
what
do
you
foresee
as
some
of
the
challenges
in
the
months
ahead,
so.
B
The
ambiguity
is
the
challenge,
so
there's
ambiguity
in
two
ways:
not
knowing
how
long
this
is
going
to
go
on
and
not
knowing
what
our
authority
or
jurisdiction
is
on
solving
this.
So
we
have
to
deal
with
the
hand.
That's
given
to
us
with
authorities
coming
from
our
Centers
for
Disease
Control
about
how
to
manage
this
pandemic.
We
had
nonprofit
organizations
who
naturally
are
already
working
with
the
most
vulnerable,
who
have
become
more
vulnerable
and
now
we're
trying
to
go
back
into
workplaces
and
still
serve
a
population
in
this
face.
B
Then,
let's
not
think
about
planning
six
months
or
a
year
out,
we
have
to
deal
with
right
what's
right
in
front
of
us,
so
that
is
that's
the
biggest
challenge
of
all
and
then
not
knowing
who
can
come
back
and
work
in
the
same
way
or
in
a
better
way
that
they
were
working
before
so
we
don't
know
what
will
be
missing.
Can.
A
You
talk:
can
you
talk
to
the
viewers
about
all
of
the
different
working
groups
that
you
created
in
the
community?
So
the
background
here
is
right
after
we
declared
a
local
state
of
emergency
as
mayor
I
set
up
a
pandemic
task
force
with
leaders
from
all
the
different
sectors
here
in
Evanston,
including
the
nonprofit
sector,
and
asked
you
when
he
Parsons
from
the
white
arms,
th,
Aaron,
singer,
Betty,
Efrain,
YWCA,
Betty,
thoughts
from
connections,
Dave
Davis
from
Northwestern
and
and
some
others
are
all
part
of
it.
B
So
as
such
would
have
it
yes,
the
nonprofit
sector
is
huge,
but
when
you
get
this
all
together,
we
do
need
to
concentrate
on
the
issue
area
that
we
all
work
in.
So
I
will
call
these
out
there
about
nine
of
them.
You
have
the
seniors
working
group.
We
have
a
few
food
and
security
team,
as
well
as
an
immigrant
services
team.
We
now
have
a
reopening
route,
so
we
have
a
group,
that's
concentrating
on
what
it
will
look
like
when
we
get
it
back
to
the
office.
B
If
we
do,
we
also
have
an
advocacy
group
that
is
concentrating
on
making
sure
that
national
on
statewide
policies
actually
support
the
work
that
we
need
to
do.
We
also
have
a
congregate
living
team,
that's
different
from
our
senior
living
group,
as
well
as
a
K
to
8,
summer
learning
team
and
then
in
the
early
childhood
team,
and
all
those
teams
are
working
while
they
were
working
separately.
We
keep
in
touch
weekly
so
that
we
understand
what's
happening
in
each
sector
and
how
some
of
the
strengths
and
each
group
can
cross
over
right.
B
The
fun
we
have
given
40
grants,
some
of
those
are
double
student
organizations
cuz.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
give
a
grant
in
the
beginning
that
we
couldn't
support
through
the
summer,
so
we
made
a
grant
for
April
and
then
in
grant
from
May.
So
I
would
say
that
is
about
35
different
organizations
and
to
put
that
into
perspective
mayor
last
year,
the
foundation
granted
one
point:
five
million
dollars
total
to
the
Edmundston
community.
In
the
last
week
we've
been
able
to
Manchester
I
mean
soup.
A
Old,
oh
my
gosh.
That
means
what
I
was
going
to
say
means
the
people
that
helped
found
the
foundation.
Are
you
older
than
I
thought
than
older?
Sorry,
everybody
I
thought
they
were,
but
but
many
of
the
people
that
you
know
were
involved
in
starting
Evanston,
Community
Foundation
I
know,
must
feel
very,
very
proud
of
what
you
know.
That
organization
is
doing
now
with
this.
You
know
pretty
unprecedented,
at
least
in
the
last
hundred
and
two
years
since
the
1918
influenza
and
to
help
their
community.
Let
me
ask
you
a
couple
couple
more
quick
questions.
B
Residents
are
actually
already
being
very
helpful,
so
we
have
had
residents
pull
together
their
funds
to
donate
to
the
fund,
knowing
that
they
would
get
matched.
So
there
aren't
enough
things
to
give
but
I'm
starting
the
Facebook
group
to
keep
us
apprised
of
what's
happening
as
well
as
emailing
the
foundation
at
the
new
email
address
that
we
created,
which
is
ER
at
Evanston
for
every
org
to
let
us
know.
B
What's
out
there,
I
have
someone
emailing
me
every
day
about
a
resource
or
an
asset
that
they
have
and
asking
us
how
to
get
it
out
to
the
community
and
we're
happy
to
feel
for
those.
We
know
when
you
don't
have
any
ideas,
but
residents
should.
This
is
coming
from
someone
who
does
it
every
day,
but
don't
get
fatigued
continue
to
be
encouraged
and
continue
to
feel
like
you're
being
heard,
and
if
you
need
assistance
continue
to
reach
out
as
well
great.
A
Great
great
great
advice,
I
think,
there's
also
a
lot
of
different
avenues
for
people
to
get
involved
here
in
Evanston
from
you
know,
volunteering
with
interfaith
action
or
some
of
the
food
food
pantries
or
getting
involved
with
helping
like
a
specific
person
through
you
know
back
on
their
feet.
You
know
Facebook
website,
which
does
a
lot
of
direct
connections.
You
know
a
personal
person
or
family
to
family,
to
you
know
a
much
more
sort
of
established,
organized
approach,
which
is
the
Anniston
community
foundation.
Well,.
B
A
A
A
We
see
everybody
as
essential
in
any
people
didn't
see,
everybody
is
essential,
and
now
you
hear
the
word
essential
and
it's
not
just
you
know
these
super
educated
people
who
are
doctors
and
scientists,
but
they're
people
that
work
at
the
grocery
store
next
year.
You
know
picking
up
our
garbage
and
all
either
all
the
other
important
jobs.
So
thank
you
so
much
money
for
your
leadership
and
the
leadership
of
that
everybody
in
the
nonprofit
sector.
A
As
the
mayor
I
preach
that
you
know,
our
success
with
handling
this
pandemic
is
based
on
a
whole
of
community
response
in
recovery
effort.
It
cannot
be
viewed
that
somehow
you
know
the
nonprofit's
going
to
save
everybody
or
the
government's
going
to
save
everybody
or
your
church
is
gonna.
Save
everybody.
It's
all
of
us.
You
know
doing
our
part
and
I'm
so
proud
of
the
nonprofit
community
and
everybody
in
this
city
just
for
stepping
up.
Okay,
so
state
state
stayed
the
course
I
know
it.
I
know
it's
not
easy.
Continue
to
practice.
