CDP Disaster Recovery Fund

by CENTER FOR DISASTER PHILANTHROPY INC

As dramatic images circulate alongside startling statistics of lives lost and billions of dollars in damage, we are moved to do something – anything – to help right after a disaster. Immediate needs must be met, lives must be saved and vital functions restored. But if disaster funding begins and ends there, we have missed the opportunity to support strategic long-term recovery and rebuilding.
Imagine, instead, the tactical allocation of funds across the entire disaster life cycle, from disaster preparedness to long-term recovery. Imagine, too, the equitable distribution of grant funds with consideration for the disasters and marginalized communities that need support even if the event didn’t receive a high level of attention from the media or donors.
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Disaster Recovery Fund allows donors to target contributions to meet specific philanthropic goals for any domestic disaster, helping communities rebuild stronger and prepare for future disasters.
