Disaster Recovery Fund

About

When disasters strike, addressing immediate needs is paramount. But disaster giving cannot end there. Supporting strategic, long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts can help strengthen communities and position them to better withstand future disasters.

In addition to awarding grants for specific emergencies, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s (CDP) Disaster Recovery Fund makes strategic investments in research, preparedness, and planning, fully demonstrating the value of a streamlined, long-term approach. As a permanent resource for the disaster philanthropy community, the fund extends beyond the crisis of disaster response to help create truly resilient communities, all the while combining efforts for the greatest impact.

Thank you for helping communities recover!
