As we worked through the tidal wave of changes the global pandemic brought to our daily lives, it was easy to miss the amazing and positive stories that were going on all around us. Here at the Amarillo Area Foundation, we experienced a multitude of incredible stories in 2020.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, we can look back and celebrate the resiliency of our region. We went from being one of the hardest hit regions in the country to being one of the best at getting our residents vaccinated in just a matter of months. Our regional leaders adapted quickly and effectively to the strains of the pandemic and emerged as a region serving as an example of how to respond effectively to such a crisis. It was an amazing response!<\/p>\n

Likewise, our regional nonprofit organizations were an inspiration in how quickly they adapted to the changing needs of our communities. So many organizations reacted to meet needs for food, child care, healthcare supplies, and other vital resources. Within only a few weeks, there was a support system in our region to assist those infected, those displaced, and those who were helping friends and family members deal with the crisis. The leadership of our regional nonprofits was truly an inspiration.<\/p>\n

The strain that was placed on our healthcare system was also unprecedented. Our health systems and providers were completely up to the task. With census numbers at record levels and revenue declining because of an absence of surgical procedures, our local providers did everything they could to keep our region safe and provide compassionate care for those impacted by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

At the Foundation, the Board of Directors and staff acted quickly to repurpose our funds for pandemic relief. During the last three quarters of 2020, we focused on assisting nonprofits with the needs identified during the crisis and providing the most relief possible to regional residents. At the same time, the staff of the foundation adapted remarkably to the challenges of working remotely, and there were very few needs that went unmet despite the radical changes in our work environment.<\/p>\n

Finally, the generosity of the residents of the Texas Panhandle was on display in dramatic fashion. In a year where many would assume that donations would be down and residents would keep their resources to themselves, Panhandle residents gave generously to help support their neighbors. Through The Panhandle Gives campaign, regional nonprofits received $ in assistance \u2013 doubling the previous year and establishing a new record for giving. We truly live in the most generous region!<\/p>\n

So, as we think about the curse of 2020 being the most \u201cinteresting\u201d of times, we must acknowledge that our neighbors are more than up to the task of facing these challenges. It was certainly a year to celebrate the best of what the Texas Panhandle has to offer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”935″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”zoom-crop” alignment=”” border_radius=”5px” box_shadow=”medium_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”40px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”7%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”about-text” overlay_strength=”1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”1141″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”zoom-crop” alignment=”” border_radius=”5px” box_shadow=”medium_depth” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom”][vc_column_text]\n

The year 2020 was certainly like none other in our lifetimes!\u00a0 <\/span>Who would have ever imagined that face masks, quarantine, toilet paper shortages, social distancing, and elbow bumps would quickly become a part of our everyday lives? \u00a0 <\/span>Without a doubt, it was a year of tremendous stress, sorrow, loss and sacrifice.\u00a0 <\/span>Amidst it all, however, there were still many positives.<\/p>\n

As we entered 2020, the Amarillo Area Foundation was enthusiastically implementing its new strategic plan, which entailed some drastic practice, process and general philosophical changes that had been in place for quite some time.\u00a0 <\/span>Much preparation and planning had gone into the strategic plan roll out, and implementation was well under way when the pandemic reached our community. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Business at the Foundation quickly became NOT as usual with staff working from home, meetings being Zoom only, and community needs increasing rapidly.\u00a0 <\/span>Many organizations would have been paralyzed by all the change or at least slow to respond.\u00a0 <\/span>But such was NOT the case with the Foundation. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Early into the year Clay and the Board recognized the need to hit the pause button on the strategic plan roll out.\u00a0 <\/span>With needs rapidly changing, our efforts became redirected, focusing on the Panhandle Disaster Relief Fund and Covid-related grants.\u00a0 <\/span>Combined, those provided just under $2M to address immediate needs of the community.\u00a0 <\/span>What a tremendous testament to the agility, commitment and leadership within our organization and to the generosity of our donors!\u00a0 <\/span>You<\/i> are the reason that, during such a trying year, the Amarillo Area Foundation continued to be extremely successful in fulfilling our mission of \u201cImproving quality of life for Texas Panhandle residents.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you for your continued support!<\/p>\n
