CARE’s emergency response programs reached nearly 22 million people last year – across the spectrum from immediate aid to longer-term recovery. We increasingly face complex crises with multiple causes, including conflict and climate change, that pose constantly changing circumstances and require nimble and innovative approaches. Many emergencies receive little international attention and face lagging donor support. In all these cases, CARE is best prepared when we have access to flexible financial resources that can be directed quickly where they are needed most.
The Humanitarian Surge Fund helps CARE meet today’s challenges by maintaining a reserve fund that can be tapped at short notice – when lives are in the balance and there is no time to wait for traditional fundraising campaigns to ramp up. Early intervention helps ensure that aid reaches the most vulnerable people. It also can galvanize global attention and catalyze additional grants – often much larger than the initial allocation. The Surge Fund is a smart investment that pays off many times over.
