Overview

Mission

The organization was formed to support, operate, and fund activities and programs that will help to generate and maintain social entrepreneurship to support communities in need.

What it reported doing in 2022

After the onset of the covid-19 pandemic, blue morning developed a series of activities to equitably address the economic impacts of the pandemic to create a stronger, more connected, and resilient charlottesville community. Priority areas included strengthening the local economic infrastructure, specifically small business, the local food system, and the artisan community, as they are elements that make charlottesville unique, vibrant, and inclusive for all. Activities included partering with local restaurants that prioritized locally sourced foods to prepare and distribute meals to workers who lost employment or saw their hours substantially reduced, providing small emergency grants to help workers meet immediate needs, helping local businesses to keep valuable works employed, and collaborating with seven local arts organizations to underwrite a fundraiser to support local low income artisans struggling to endure the economic impacts of the pandemic.the organization was dormant during its final year and then terminated as of the end of the year.
