When a disaster strikes, you want to respond quickly. At the same time, you want your dollars and efforts to reach as far as possible. The Center for Disaster Philanthropy is here to offer insight and expertise, fostering informed giving across the disaster landscape in numerous ways.

As a permanent resource to the philanthropic community, we value:

• The role of the private philanthropist. We are donor-focused in all efforts.
• The needs of disaster-affected communities. We work diligently to understand and meet those needs.
• Resiliency. We believe that philanthropy can help ensure that affected communities build back better.
• Information and analysis. Our grantmaking efforts reflect our preparedness and recovery philosophy.
• The opportunity to meet the donor community where it is. We desire to inspire innovation and disaster-related focus in philanthropic giving.
