Dear Joyce Foundation Partners,
In light of new guidance issued by the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago to help minimize the spread of COVID-19, the Joyce Foundation's offices are closed. All staff are working remotely.
Additionally, we have restricted all non-essential travel, postponed or cancelled events through mid-April and will be conducting all meetings via Zoom or phone. We have taken these steps to protect our staff and to do our part to contribute positively to the public health response to the virus.
During this challenging time, our work will continue. We do not anticipate any disruption to the grantmaking process – we will continue to review funding requests, pay grants and otherwise support our grantees. Our staff will be reachable by email and phone. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
As you know, the COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving. We will continue to monitor developments and update you on our plans to re-open our offices as they progress.
This is a difficult time for so many in our community and our country. May you and your loved ones remain healthy and safe.
Ellen S. Alberding
President, Joyce Foundation
