Annapolis Small Business Recovery Task Force Supports Nonprofits
The Annapolis Small Business Recovery Task Force was established to focus on the experiences that Annapolis businesses are facing in the time of COVID-19 and to come up with recommendations for assistance for the local small business and nonprofit community.
Share Your Thoughts
Nonprofit organizations are doing vital work in the Annapolis community to serve our citizens and enrich the lives of all those who call Annapolis their home. In order to be part of this important conversation, a Nonprofit Subcommittee has been formed to recognize the contributions offered by our city’s nonprofit organizations and learn about their unique challenges. The committee would like to learn about:
- Your nonprofit’s most urgent needs
- Plans to address your employee well-being concerns
- Factors that are affecting your organization’s ability to continue to serve your constituents
- Impact of COVID-19 on events/activities to support your organization
- Economic impact of COVID-19 on your programs and services
- Ways in which the City of Annapolis can support your work
