Disaster philanthropy in a changing landscape: New insights on giving, preparedness and collaboration
8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET / 4 p.m. GMT
Amid shifts in the disaster funding landscape, communities are shouldering the growing impacts of climate-driven hazards and prolonged humanitarian crises. As governments reduce funding for global disasters and humanitarian crises, fewer resources are available to help communities prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters.
This shift calls for philanthropy to reimagine its role, and funders are already showing signs of change in where they give, when they invest and how they use their influence. The challenges are significant, but so is the opportunity to drive more strategic, collaborative and forward-looking approaches to disaster giving.Join CDP for the launch of the 2026 edition of the State of Disaster Philanthropy, which examines giving data tracked by Candid, philanthropy’s response to a changing funding landscape, and opportunities to strengthen philanthropic practice and impact.
During this webinar, we will explore key findings from this year’s report and emerging trends in disaster giving, including philanthropic investments in preparedness and complex humanitarian emergencies. The discussion will examine how research insights can inform smarter disaster giving and stronger collaboration in the U.S. and globally, drawing on perspectives from experienced disaster funders and leaders in the philanthropic field.
CDP’s Austin Snowbarger, Director of Strategy and Research, will moderate this discussion with:
- Sara Manning, Head of Operations and Special Programs, Truist Foundation
- Delphine Moralis, CEO, Philanthropy Europe Association (Philea)
