As dramatic images circulate alongside startling statistics of lives lost and billions of dollars in damages, we are moved to do something – anything – to help right after a disaster. Immediate needs must be met, lives must be saved and vital functions restored. But if disaster funding begins and ends there, we have missed the opportunity to support strategic long-term recovery and rebuilding.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Disaster Recovery Fund allows donors to target contributions to meet specific philanthropic goals for any domestic disaster to help communities rebuild stronger and prepare for future disasters.

This fund supports disasters such as:

2024 Hurricane Helene
2024 New Mexico Wildfires
2024 Texas & Oklahoma Wildfires
2024 United States Severe Weather
North American Wildfires
