Disasters can occur anytime, anywhere. Hurricanes, wildfires, floods and humanitarian crises are threatening the lives and livelihoods of billions worldwide, creating a critical need for funders to know how and when to give effectively.
We mobilize philanthropy to strengthen the ability of communities to withstand disasters and recover equitably when they occur. To achieve this, we work with donors, fund managers, philanthropists, foundations and nonprofits to advise, direct and inform their disaster giving.
Expert Advisory Services
When disasters strike, giving feels urgent. But giving well during disasters can be hard – and how, when and what we give makes all the difference for the equitable recovery of those affected.
For Nonprofit Organizations
In a disaster, those with direct and lived experiences in a community are often best positioned to navigate what is needed for recovery. CDP works with and supports frontline organizations through our grantmaking and by distributing our responding organization list to funders.
Building Funder Coalitions
CDP brings funders together to collaborate, learn and take coordinated action that strengthens community-led disaster and humanitarian response. Across our coalitions, we create structured spaces where philanthropy and allied partners can align around shared goals, pool insights and drive strategic investments that advance equity, local leadership and long-term recovery.
