Partner With Us

Leverage our team’s unique combination of frontline and academic experience in disaster response and recovery, humanitarian aid and philanthropy to maximize the impact of your giving.

We know disasters, so you don’t have to.

When a disaster strikes, people want to know how they can help.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy takes the guesswork out of disaster giving by helping donors fully leverage philanthropy to strengthen communities’ ability to emerge stronger after disasters occur. We provided expert advice, educational resources and extensive networks while managing domestic and international funds on behalf of corporations, foundations and individuals through strategic grantmaking.

No matter your needs, we can help ensure your philanthropic investments go where and when they are needed most.

Imagine a world where people can rebuild, recover from and withstand future disasters. Together, we can make this world a reality.

Our funds

Our donors give with confidence knowing that our funds maximize the impact of donations by supporting strategic, long-term recovery to help build stronger communities. We emphasize investing well rather than investing quickly to address the greatest needs and gaps in funding that emerge months after the disaster.
