COVID-19 Notice

The Greater Grand Island Community Foundation has been closely following the news surrounding COVID-19 and public health concerns in our area. As most are aware, this has led to school and business closures as an effort to prevent the further spread of the virus. We believe that it is our duty as an organization to set an example for other local organizations and to practice safe and healthy policies as we work through this crisis. Please be advised that until further notice:
  • The Greater Grand Island Community Foundation offices at 1811 W. 2nd Street in Grand Island are closed. Our team will be working from home during this time and will not attend group meetings in person. We remain available for meetings via phone or the internet.
  • When appropriate, all program meetings will be held via zoom video conference.
  • Our grant programs will move forward as planned, however, discretionary grantmaking may be limited to operations and direct support of organizations that support the basic and health needs of the most vulnerable and at-risk in Greater Grand Island.
