Silicon Valley Community Foundation has continued to emphasize that COVID-19 has only exacerbated existing inequities, and we have seen that the COVID-19 death-rate among Black individuals is increasing at an alarming rate in our communities. André Chapman, Founder and CEO of UnityCare and member of SVCF’s Community Advisory Council, and Noha Aboaleta, CEO of Root Community Health Center, join this episode to discuss COVID-19 BLACK, a regional initiative designed to address the public health crisis in the Black Community. In a conversation facilitated by SVCF’s Director of Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships, Mauricio Palma, hear how the Black community has been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, why such disparate health inequities exist and what COVID-19 BLACK is doing to change to make a difference.
In SVCF’s Philanthropy Now podcast series, we explore trends in the world of philanthropy, social impact initiatives in Silicon Valley and beyond, and we look at how SVCF promotes innovative philanthropic solutions to challenging problems.
