Disaster and Humanitarian Relief

Climate- and weather-related disasters and floods have been rising disproportionately in both incidence and gravity. At the same time, communities face human-created disasters including mass shootings, armed conflict, and refugee and migrant crises.
Many individual donors and institutional grantmakers are moved to help when a crisis first hits. Yet the effects of a disaster persist long past the initial headlines.
