In response to the COVID-19 emergency, the Foundation launched a special round of small grants that specifically help alleviate the damaging effects of the pandemic in Venezuela in the midst of a deteriorating public health system.
Through an open call on the SBF website, organizations presented projects that could be implemented quickly based on defined criteria, including impact, project plan and cost-effectiveness. All projects were evaluated through a competitive review process administered by an experienced advisory committee. From a pool of 38 applicants, 15 projects were selected. As of December 31, 2020, $427,631 were awarded in donations to make each project a reality. Note that for safety reasons, name of grantees are not listed.
