This fund will provide assistance to people affected by flooding on the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Isaac. Funds raised will be disbursed to organizations working in the area to provide aid and relief to those affected by the storm system.
Hurricane Isaac has made landfall and has been downgraded to a tropical depression. Although the damage from hurricane force winds has been minimal, there has been extensive damage from widespread flooding.
This fund will support to several organizations providing emergency and long term relief along the Gulf Coast for those affected by Hurricane Isaac and the resulting floods, including the Save the Children.
Natural disasters always require a huge amount of support to provide immediate relief and long term recovery efforts. In this case, these initial funds will help people affected by the storm system get necessary services and supplies. Over time this fund will transition to support longer term recovery efforts.
When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
