Disaster Response

Enable your employees and customers to help others in times of crisis

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

When disaster strikes, do you want to quickly provide support to organizations on the ground? Or give to great organizations doing longer-term rebuilding? Recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. Through our partnership with organizations in 170+ countries, GlobalGiving can safely and quickly connect donors to organizations in our network committed to both immediate and long-term recovery. 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."

Here are some examples of how GlobalGiving helps companies with disaster giving:

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 The VF Foundation, VF Corporation, and its family of brands like Timberland and The North Face as part of their consumer cause marketing campaign which provided more than $750,000 in COVID-19 relief to GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners.

Involve your loyal customers in disaster response

We’ve worked with Hilton Worldwide and United Airlines to award bonus points to Hilton Honors and United Airlines MileagePlus members who donate to major natural disaster relief efforts.

Offer employees matching programs that drive support directly where it's needed

GlobalGiving has created employee disaster giving programs for companies like 3M, Capital One, Cummins, and Discovery, in response to natural disasters in places like Australia, Nepal, and Texas.

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.
