The Russell Berrie Foundation was recently featured in Inside Philanthropy, in an article titled “How a Private Foundation Backed Trusted Partners When Crisis Struck its Home Region.” The piece describes how RBF responded to the pandemic by issuing $4.48 million in emergency grants, to support organizations in the U.S. and Israel that were providing COVID-19 relief efforts. “The funder’s approach is an illustrative case study of a relatively modest private foundation responding to a global crisis—by moving new funds, but also relying on longstanding relationships and knowledge about its existing areas of giving,” the article notes.
