Staff Stories

In light of the public health risk of COVID-19, and in alignment with the Office of the Mayor of New York City, Nathan Cummings Foundation staff will work from home until further notice. During this time, our meetings will be held virtually or postponed until re-opening our office is advisable. We will make every effort to ensure there is no disruption to our grantmaking and operations.

NCF remains steadfastly committed to our partners and appreciates that organizations are adjusting plans to prioritize safety, well-being, and the emergent needs of their communities. We understand that many groups are now taking on additional work and want to reassure you that we will be as accommodating as we can to support you during this time.

We encourage you to reach out to your program contact if you have any questions regarding your grant or requests for accommodations to be made, such as deadline extensions or changes to deliverables.

Supporting our partners is at the center of everything we do. As we navigate these evolving circumstances, our priority remains the same. Thank you for your dedication to doing what keeps our communities healthy.

We will provide updates as they become available.

With gratitude,
Leticia Peguero
Vice President of Programs
