MARIETTA — The Marietta Community Foundation was among agencies around the country that prepared for the consequences of the virus beginning a year ago when the World Health Organization announced COVID-19 was elevated to pandemic status.
“We were able to act quickly and efficiently when the pandemic affected our community,” said Heather Allender, president and CEO of the Foundation. “We want Washington County to know that we are still here to help in any way we can.”
The Foundation continues to follow through on the promise, she said. After receiving 23 grant applications for its Spring Grant Cycle, the Foundation reviewed each submission.
