In the next few weeks, we anticipate seeing approval for COVID-19 vaccinations for kids ages 6 months to 5 yrs old. On June 21, funders and philanthropy serving organizations are invited to join the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative for a discussion with funders currently supporting/working on vaccination outreach, and discuss specific roles philanthropy can play in promoting and supporting COVID-19 vaccinations for young kids.
Discussants helping us unpack opportunities and roles for funders include:
- Katie Beckmann, Program Officer, The David & Lucille Packard Foundation
- Alexandra Quinn, CEO, Health Leads, a lead organizing partner in the Vaccine Equity Cooperative
- Cameron Webb, Senior Policy Advisor for COVID-19 Equity on the White House COVID-19 Response Team
