As executive vice president and COO of the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis, Sutton Mora (at her Midtown office) oversees millions of dollars in COVID grants and funds. “We started receiving funds mid-March 2020 and did emergency grants every week until mid-June. I couldn’t tell you anything about my life in those four or five months. I had a birthday somewhere in there.” (Patrick Lantrip/Daily Memphian)
