At the onset of COVID-19 in the United States, Imaginable Futures took quick action to support child care providers and families. One way we chose to do this was funding NPR's emergency response to COVID-19 – coverage of the coronavirus with focus on information for and stories on educators, providers, parents and learners. NPR is stretching its resources to provide hourly coverage on the education challenges brought about by COVID-19 and those impacted, especially individuals within Imaginable Futures focus areas of early childhood and student parents.
The mission of NPR, in partnership with its member stations, is to create a more informed public, one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and culture within the United States and across the globe."
