The Midwest Early Recovery Fund fills a persistent gap in post-disaster funding. Too often, communities struggle with identifying sufficient resources to address the unmet needs of those most vulnerable to the impact of disasters because of systemic inequities, especially at the local level.
Since 2015, the Midwest Early Recovery Fund has awarded more than $8 million to 85 grantee partner organizations that lead recovery efforts in communities affected by floods, severe storms, wildfires and other disaster events.
This Fund also supports recovery in Native American and Tribal communities that are disproportionately affected by weather and climate-related disasters. By awarding 25% of grants to Native-led/Native-serving organizations, the Fund aims to minimize the impact of disasters in Native communities.
Thank you for helping communities recover!
