Supporting the Palisades rebuild, and building a model for all disaster communities


Team Palisades grew out of borrowed corners and improvised meeting rooms. In the weeks after the January 2025 fire, neighbors found each other on glitchy Zoom calls, over cups of coffee in local shops, and squeezed into borrowed spaces around town. Out of those small, determined encounters came a shared conviction: that recovery would be stronger if it was built by the community itself, with many voices and many hands at the table.

That spirit took root one Saturday in March, when a group of Palisades residents gathered at Team Molly’s space. World Central Kitchen served us a hot meal, and between bites we began sketching out what support could look like—block by block, family by family, and business by business. What started as conversation around folding tables has since grown into a living framework for rebuilding: block captains connecting neighbors, volunteers stepping forward with skills and time, and a widening circle of partners committed to our long-term recovery.

We’ve come far since those first tentative meetings, but our work is still just beginning. Team Palisades welcomes new energy, new ideas, and new neighbors every day. Whether you join as a volunteer, a partner, or simply as a voice in the conversation, you are part of writing the next chapter of our community. This is the essence of our work: neighbors helping neighbors, not just to restore what was lost, but to create a Palisades that is stronger, more connected, and more welcoming than ever before.

We strengthen the ability of communities to withstand disasters and recover equitably when they occur.

When disaster strikes, people rally to support those affected, but full recovery takes years – long after media attention wanes and most donations cease. Your gift will help the Center for Disaster Philanthropy transform people’s lives during the long road to recovery and provide hope for the days and months ahead. To support specific recovery efforts, see our website.

Thank you for helping communities recover!

Lasting Change’s mission is to empower everyone to support the causes they care about.

Lasting Change was born from the idea that everyone should feel empowered to support the causes they care about.

Unfortunately, there are many roadblocks that make people reluctant to donate.  There is a misconception that charitable giving requires a lot of money.  The options for donating small sums–say, at a grocery store checkout or social media campaign–are limited and inflexible.  And it’s time-consuming to try to find charities with strong track records and real impact.

It’s time for a change.

Our innovative mobile app makes charitable giving easy, accessible, and personal.  With features like spare change roundups and donation history tracking, we’ve created a centralized hub for all of your donation needs--whether you’re a seasoned donor or are considering making a donation for the very first time.

GlobalGiving is a nonprofit that supports other nonprofits by connecting them to donors and companies.

Our Story
By 1997, Mari Kuraishi and Dennis Whittle were convinced many key innovations in global development weren’t getting the attention they deserved. Believing there had to be a better way to do aid, they started an experiment. In February 2000, they invited any social entrepreneur to pitch his or her earth-changing idea at the World Bank. The 300+ participants ranged from a group of NASA scientists to a woman who’d never before left her Ugandan village.

The event was a success, and Mari and Dennis realized good ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at any time. They also realized there were many others who wanted to support good ideas. So they left the Bank to launch the world’s first crowdfunding community in 2002. Today, people in more than 165 countries can easily share their ideas, and individual donors and companies can easily support vetted nonprofits through GlobalGiving.
