Establishing Partners:
“The amount of money raised because of the generosity of our community is inspiring. The ability to distribute dollars quickly to nonprofits in our community that are working daily to support families during these difficult times is a priority for Innovia Foundation, Empire Health Foundation and United Way,” said Spokane County United Way President and CEO Tim Henkel. “We all know there is more work to do to support the most marginalized and low-income members of our community who are adversely affected by this outbreak and we will continue to partner to strengthen people’s ability to respond and recover.”
“As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we remain very concerned about ongoing health and financial impacts, particularly among communities of color. Our second-round funding priorities are largely focused on organizations serving adults and children in these communities, where deep disparities remain,” said Empire Health Foundation Interim President Jeff Bell. “I want to thank the Spokane County COVID-19 Advisory Committee and funders’ staff for the tremendous work in making difficult and thoughtful decisions.”
“These funds are helping to address the urgent, basic needs that have surfaced during the COVID-19 global pandemic and Better Health Together is glad to contribute. We see this as a starting point for community collaboration,” said Better Health Together Executive Director Alison Poulsen. “We challenge funders and leaders to address systemic racism that exacerbates health inequities in our communities of color.”
“The second round of COVID-19 grants continues to address the most urgent needs in our region and supports organizations doing the work on the ground,” said Innovia Foundation CEO Shelly O’Quinn. “As our region enters into the recovery phase, we are reminded of the strength of community and collaboration as we collectively make these grants thoughtfully and strategically with over 100 regional volunteers and trusted voices.”
“Equinox Foundation is proud to be part of this collaborative effort,” said Equinox Foundation Board President Julie Meyer. “The partners and funders involved recognize that we can have greater impact by working together and are committed to assisting the most marginalized and vulnerable members of our community who are adversely affected by this outbreak.”
“This crisis has further exposed and deepened the economic and health inequities in our region. Our funding partners recognize this reality and have prioritized many of these funds to support organizations that are trusted in their communities to address the needs of our most vulnerable citizens,” said Todd Kiesbuy, Avista’s Regional Business Manager for North Idaho. “These resources will be directed to the people who need it most. The level of cooperation and communication among the funders is truly remarkable and Avista is honored to be part of this effort.”
