Austin brings a unique combination of disaster and philanthropy experience to his work as manager of learning and partnerships at the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP).

Prior to joining CDP, Austin supported grantmaking and led learning and evaluation at NextFifty Initiative; a private foundation focused on improving the lives of older adults. Austin’s disaster experience includes managing a shelter recovery project for World Concern in Haiti following Hurricane Matthew and contributing to research outputs for the Age and Disability Capacity Program that aimed to ensure older adults and people with disabilities are included during emergency responses.
