Disaster Philanthropy: the Role of Family Giving in Preparedness, Response and Recovery

There are resources available from this event.

To access, please LOGIN or JOIN THE FAMILY.

Usually, disasters bring out the best in people. Donations to charities surge as television coverage increases. Government agencies work closely with non-profit organizations, private philanthropy, and corporations. Yet we know from experience that both coordination and effective spending of donor dollars is a particular challenge, not just while the disaster is underway, but also in the long-term, as rebuilding begins. As families and communities begin to clean up and consider how long their power will be out, private philanthropists turn their attention to the question, “How can I help?” This special webinar, featuring representatives from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and leaders of family foundations experienced in disaster recovery and preparedness, will provide tips and proactive strategies for funders of all sizes.

I honestly had not thought about funding disaster preparedness before. I’m not sure how our board will respond, but I’m looking forward to the conversation.

This webinar has made me realize that we need to develop an internal policy for how we react and give to the thousands of disasters that occur.
