The Fund is supporting our partners' efforts to provide emergency relief after the devastating earthquake. Proceeds will be allocated amongst partners providing food/water, shelter, and medical care.
A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Chile early on Feb 27, abut 200 miles from the capital of Santiago and 70 miles from the country's second largest city, Concepcion. Damage is extensive, hundreds have died, and millions have been displaced.
Through GlobalGiving's partners on the ground, this fund will provide victims of the earthquake with critical necessities including water, food, shelter, and medical care. More details will be provided as they are available.
Through short-term relief, and then long term rebuilding, this fund will help victims recover from this devastating natural disaster.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
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.
