The novel coronavirus and resulting COVID-19 disease is a rapidly unfolding situation in North Carolina and across the globe. The effects of the outbreak are likely to be widespread, and will disproportionately affect the most vulnerable among us. With this in mind, NCNG is compiling information and resources related to the outbreak, as well as philanthropy’s response. If there are resources you suggest we add to this page, please let us know.
North Carolina’s Division of Public Health hosts a website with up-to-date information related to the outbreak. This includes information and resources for all sectors of the state, including schools and colleges, businesses, families, long-term care facilities and more. The state’s response efforts are also noted on this site.
Governor Cooper has issued the following executive orders:
North Carolina's Broadband Infrastructure Office has created an interactive map that identifies free or affordable service offerings from various vendors across the state, and a list of public Wi-Fi access locations available for public use. The federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website contains resources and information related to the U.S. government’s preparation and response to the outbreak, including up-to-date “situation assessments.” The CDC has also provided a Fact Sheet on the Coronavirus, which can be found here. The Small Business Administration and the US Treasury released FAQs related to the Paycheck Protection program to provide additional guidance for borrowers and lenders. The document will be updated regularly. Access it here. The US Chamber of Commerce has published a guide to federal coronavirus loan programs for nonprofits, including the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides 100% federally guaranteed loans to eligible organizations.
