2020 World Happiness Report
At this moment of pandemic, health and well-being are naturally a global priority for us all as we prepare for the worst while hoping for the best. The coronavirus unquestionably threatens to undermine two key drivers of our well-being: health and income. Yet, the research published today in the 2020 World Happiness Report, a partner of the Blue Chip Foundation and William, Jeff and Jennifer Gross Family Foundation, reminds us that disaster-resilient communities require more than good health and income - they need high levels of equality, trust, and inter-personal support, too.
How can the donor community support this? As one first step, our family is making emergency donations to organizations that support our most vulnerable populations by investing in their urgent, increased and sustained well-being. Among these are the National Domestic Workers Alliance Coronavirus Care Fund , which supports marginalized workers that take care of our homes and families, and World Central Kitchen’s COVID-19 Response , which supports meal delivery services for families in need.
We believe that integrating the science of well-being into our philanthropy to support all aspects of human well-being will strengthen our impact, our communities, and, ultimately, our global ability to rebound stronger from the coronavirus’ devastation than we began it.
Our team at the Blue Chip Foundation sends good wishes to you and your loved ones for your safety and well-being.
