Donations to a GlobalGiving disaster fund support relief and recovery efforts related to that specific disaster. Funding is distributed to vetted nonprofit partners responding to urgent needs and supporting recovery as needs evolve.
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, funding may help nonprofit partners provide emergency assistance, such as shelter, medical care, food, clean water, and other essential services.
As the response moves from immediate relief to recovery, funding may support longer-term needs, such as rebuilding, restoring essential services, and helping affected communities recover. Because needs can change over time, GlobalGiving may distribute funding at different stages of the response rather than allocating all donations immediately.
Every nonprofit organization in the GlobalGiving community is vetted before it can receive funding through the platform. Our vetting process helps donors give with confidence and supports transparency and effectiveness
