Dear Reader,

As the spread of the novel coronavirus threatens the well-being of people across the globe, I want to personally thank you for the essential missions you are carrying out every day, even amid great challenges and hardship.

Every day our reporters and editors are working to bring you fresh insights on the crisis. Because of the nature of this pandemic, we are making our breaking-news coverage of this fast-moving story free to all. That includes our news and advice on:

How to prepare for the economic aftershocks of the pandemic and how to decide whether to tap into reserves or make cuts in anticipation of a coming downturn.
What foundations and donors are doing to help the nation get through this crisis. Rapid-response funds are attracting new dollars every day, and many grant makers are reaching out to donors to find out what they can do in the short term and long term.
Tracking how charities are dealing with canceled events and other unanticipated fundraising challenges, including creating virtual events.
Following advocacy efforts by national coalitions of nonprofits to provide federal aid to nonprofits as they deal with the crisis.

Weâve turned to respected voices in philanthropy to offer insightful analysis, including Lauren Smith, a former public-health leader and pediatrician who is now a philanthropy strategist, Dan Cardinali, head of Independent Sector, and Antony Bugg-Levine, chief executive of the Nonprofit Finance Fund.

All of our coverage is in one easy-to-find place, including how-to's and helpful tools.

Please share our stories with your colleagues and others. And let us know how you're coping and any resources youâve found helpful so we can spread the word. We also encourage you to tell us what questions are on your mind to help guide our coverage.

Following our newsletters and our social-media accounts is one of the best ways to stay on top of the latest updates.

As you might imagine, this kind of expert coverage takes immense reporting and editing resources, so I hope youâll take a moment today to help us continue this important work: Subscribe or ask your employer to provide organization-wide access. Itâs the support of our subscribers that helps us provide you carefully vetted information in unprecedented times such as these.

In the days ahead, I hope that you and your staff are staying strong and healthy. We are all counting on you to keep serving our society â and the Chronicle wants to be your source of wisdom and inspiration to help you successfully carry out your mission.

Sincerely,

Stacy Palmer
