Disaster Philanthropy Basics

We continue to watch what feels like a never-ending stream of disasters unfold in our local communities and around the globe – hurricanes, wildfires, a pandemic, floods, and human-made crises. For grantmakers, it’s crucial to know when to respond and how. Since 2010, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) has been helping individuals, foundations and corporations increase the effectiveness of their philanthropic response to disasters and humanitarian crises.

• Become more familiar with the lifecycle of disasters and the basics of disaster philanthropy.
