To combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation recently committed $2.8 million in aid to support small businesses, entrepreneurs, grantees and educational institutions in the Kansas City region.  In addition, they added a new member to its executive team after a nationwide search.

The foundation named Philip Gaskin its vice president of entrepreneurship.  Gaskin, who joined the Kauffman Foundation in 2016, most recently was senior director of entrepreneurship.
