Thank you—we can’t say it enough! Because of your incredible generosity, communities struggling after the August 2021 earthquake in Haiti have received holistic support from vetted, mostly Haitian-led, nonprofit organizations in the GlobalGiving network.
Since our last update to you, the GlobalGiving team made a final set of four grants from this fund to our partners on the front lines of the earthquake recovery process. Here is a snapshot of the important work your donation has supported through these final grants:
This fund is no longer accepting donations, and this will be the last fund report of this kind from our team. Thank you again for advancing community-led disaster recovery.

Since August 2021, the people of Haiti have been grappling with the impacts of a massive earthquake that was quickly followed by a devastating tropical storm. At the same time, political unrest and rising gang violence have significantly challenged response efforts. However, with generous support from people like you, GlobalGiving’s trusted nonprofit partners in Haiti are at the forefront of providing critical humanitarian assistance to those in need.
Your donation to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund has already supported 15 emergency grants to 10 community-led nonprofit organizations facing the challenges of earthquake recovery head-on. Here is what Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, an incredible nonprofit leader at Economic Stimulus Projects for Work and Action (ESPWA) shared about the impact of your donation:
"The needs are overwhelming. I am trying hard not to think of all the devastation to focus on what we can do. We’re working at all hours and I have to remind people that we need to sleep. THANK YOU!!"
We are excited to share a short description of the critical work you’ve supported since our last update in early September:
Earthquake recovery in Haiti is far from over. Your support of the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund powers community-led responses, and it means local leaders like Marie-Rose Romain Murphy get the resources they need to rebuild their communities from within.
Thank you again for your generosity. I will be back in your inbox in early 2022 with more updates on the impact of your donation!
With gratitude,

I want to start by saying thank you. In times of tragic disasters like the earthquake in Haiti last month, our team becomes focused on getting funds into the hands of locally-led nonprofits as fast as possible. You and hundreds of other supporters of the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund make this possible. For that, we cannot thank you enough. Within one week of the earthquake, we sent emergency grants to five incredible partner organizations on the front lines of delivering critical aid to communities across southern Haiti.
Here is a brief overview of our vetted nonprofit partners in Haiti that have received our first round of emergency grants:
In the coming months, GlobalGiving will continue to send more specific updates, photos, and stories from the organizations powering recovery from within their communities.
Thank you again for your generosity and for choosing to support community-led disaster relief and recovery.
With gratitude,
Victoria Méndez + the GlobalGiving Team

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.
