Entertaining, as of March 12, screeched to a halt in the Metropolitan Washington DC Area.  The timing of this outbreak could not have been worse for the 100’s of employees who rely upon what would normally be a very busy schedule of work.  Hours have already been drastically cut without any sign of upturn in the coming weeks.  We are concerned about implications of the slowdown for those amongst us who are most vulnerable.  We seek to raise $100,000 to assist our valued employees in the coming weeks and possibly months.

This is not an official Compass fundraiser.  We are doing this because of serious concerns about the financial impact the Corona Virus has on our people.

Please consider donating any amount whether you are a current employee, a past employee, or a friend of ours. 

The objective of this campaign is to give out cash gifts in the amount of $500 - $1500 for those amongst us with the greatest need.  A small committee will collect requests, prioritize them, and disperse grants on a rolling basis until the fund is empty.  The grants are not considered income and therefore they are not taxable.
