Other ways to support disaster recovery

Corporate matching is a powerful incentive for your employees to donate their own funds. It amplifies the impact of their contribution, and it also lets them know that you support their efforts to make a difference in the world. Many companies include donation matching as part of their package of employee reward or benefit programs.

Please reach out to the development team, if you have questions about starting your own matching gift program, or have a robust matching gift program that could be leveraged for a greater impact on long-term disaster recovery, especially if you utilize platforms such as Benevity, YourCause or Cybergrants for employee giving.

Unsure how to start or maximize your employee giving potential in times of disasters and beyond? Let us help you.

Organizations like yours have supported our work. Reach out to the development team to learn about how our advisory services can help you make a more strategic impact.

Is your company interested in a dedicated, branded giving page for your employees or other stakeholders to use to support disaster recovery? CDP frequently partners with companies to create a giving page on our website to make it easier to support one of our disaster recovery funds.

We can also support smaller fundraising campaigns with a dedicated giving page form and provide a QR code and co-branding to make sharing the fundraiser easier. Please contact the development team to learn more.

Looking for an opportunity to amplify the impact of your philanthropic initiatives? Consider developing a cause marketing campaign with the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to channel resources toward global issues you care about the most. CDP has partnered with brands such as Target, Columbia Sportswear and CREDO Mobile to create effective cause marketing strategies that allow companies to leverage their social influence. This method of giving is convenient, flexible and accessible.

• Planned giving: Consider listing CDP as your preferred charity in your will or as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy. You can provide long-lasting support for medium to long-term disaster recovery while enjoying financial benefits for yourself. Planned gifts include bequests through a will or living trust, beneficiary designations of a retirement plan or life insurance policy, or a deferred gift that will provide an income for life, such as a charitable gift annuity or a charitable trust. For more information, please contact the Development Team and submit this form.

Employee giving simply involves employees making donations to nonprofits they care about. Many companies choose to support their people by matching their donations to the same organizations.

You can increase your gift’s impact through your employer matching gift program.

Peer-to-peer fundraising is a great way to raise money and awareness for a cause. This type of fundraising makes it possible for individual supporters to host personalized campaigns for collecting donations from friends, family and colleagues on our behalf.

Some examples of peer-to-peer fundraising that have been successful in raising support for CDP include: bake sales, penny fundraisers, charity concerts, GoFundMe campaigns, Facebook birthday fundraisers and more.

We can help you leverage your peer-to-peer fundraising efforts and with your permission celebrate your achievements on our social media pages! Reach out to the Development Team to learn more.
