Disaster Response

Empower Your Stakeholders to Help Others in Times of Crisis.

GlobalGiving's unparalleled reach and responsiveness power disaster relief programs that support first responders and local nonprofits as they rebuild.

Disaster Recovery Network at GlobalGiving

When natural disasters strike, do you want to quickly provide support to international and local organizations? Or give to great organizations doing longer-term rebuilding? Through our partnership with organizations in 160+ countries, GlobalGiving is uniquely positioned to connect individual and corporate donors directly to organizations committed to both immediate and long-term recovery and development. And we make it easy for you, your employees and your customers to give.

"The VMware Foundation has worked with GlobalGiving for natural disaster responses because of the variety of locally-driven nonprofits VMware people can choose to support—in their immediate work as first responders as well as long-term recovery efforts after the headlines have faded."

Nicola Acutt

Vice President, Global Community Affairs, VMware

There are many effective ways to create a disaster relief program that aligns with with your corporate citizenship strategy. Here are some examples of how GlobalGiving partners with companies to customize their giving programs:

Customize a program to respond to an unexpected crisis

GlobalGiving can quickly build and manage custom donation pages for employees and customers. GlobalGiving partnered with Gap Inc. and Gap Foundation as part of their consumer and employee engagement campaign to contribute to Japan earthquake relief in 2011.

Integrate all stakeholders into a disaster response plan

We worked with Hilton Worldwide to create a program to award bonus points to Hilton HHonors members who donated to major natural disaster relief efforts.

Offer employees fast, unique matching programs that amplify individual impact, driving more support directly where it's needed

GlobalGiving created a matching program to help Discovery Inc. employees donate to relief funds in Haiti, Japan, Nepal, Texas, Sierra Leone, and more.

Support the local organizations that know their communities' needs best

Facebook activates a crisis donate button during disasters, enabling people to quickly, easily, and safely give money to relief efforts. We identify a local responding organization and make sure donations get to where they're needed most.
