Mission

Our mission is to memorialize every victim of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world. We know this is a large project, but it must be done and nobody should just be a statistic or piece of data. There is a human being attached to that data, and they were loved.

Notes from the nonprofit

COVID-19 Memorial is a start-up non-profit, and we are learning as we move forward how to improve employee productivity and also raise money to honor the victims of the pandemic at the same time. We are committed to making this memorial a permanent honor for generations to learn from, understand what happened, and how the world coped with the pandemic in this modern age.

COVID-19 Memorial Worldwide

COVID-19 Memorial is structured to honor and remember every person who passed on during the pandemic. This means that every country that had suffered loss, will have a page on the memorial wall dedicated to those loved ones.

To be listed in the memorial, it is free and loved ones will never be asked to pay to get their family and friends honored. The memorial is supported through donations from the public, and that is how it will be sustained for future generations.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

COVID-19 Memorial is in the process of memorializing every individual who lost their life to the pandemic for the website. Our future goal is to create video clips for the online site and social media streaming accounts for people to watch and remember their friends and family. Our long-term goal is to have short videos completed by the family and friends to store so that when people visit the permanent memorial building, they will be able to pull these clips up through a search engine and listen to them.

CV19M® is committed to reminding the world that the numbers on the news represent people, and CV19M® is trying to remind the world that human beings important. And we are the keepers of the past to share with the future.

By continuing to honor the memories of those lost, CV19M® is creating a sustainable record of all who have been lost to the pandemic regardless of religion, political affiliation, gender, or country of origin. Everyone is someone's loved one, and since COVID-19 does not discriminate, neither does CV19M®. Our motto: Honor Everyone.

CV19M® will meet our goals by dedication and hard work, and close team work. With the public's assistance, these goals will become a reality sooner than later and a permanent memorial will be acquired and opened.

The opening of the COVID-19 Memorial is just the start. Getting through the lockdown of the pandemic in New York City, New York, and making CV19M® a reality is an accomplishment unto itself. The mere fact that people respond so positively to what CV19M® is doing, is our second accomplishment. At CV19M®, we look to the future.

  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
