The San Francisco AIDS Foundation confirmed May 4 that it has laid off employees as a result of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and associated declines in revenue, according to Chad Ngo, the foundation s communications manager.
Seventeen employees were laid off, according to Joe Hollendoner, SFAF s CEO. These include four leadership roles that were eliminated, according to Ngo.
The layoffs were last week, Hollendoner wrote in a statement. Neither answered the amount in the revenue decline or whether senior management would take pay cuts, as happened in 2002. We have made the difficult decision to enact a reduction in our workforce in order to preserve San Francisco AIDS Foundation s long-term fiscal health and achievement of our strategic plan, Ngo stated. We value the contributions our staff have made to our organization and community, and thank the affected staff for their service. As a matter of policy, we are not able to comment further on individuals affected or other
