5 Things to Consider When Supporting Disaster Relief and Recovery

1. First, look to local organizations that are already on the ground. These
organizations are already working in the area and have formed close relationships with
the communities they serve and other strategic partners. Their capacity and
effectiveness will be greater than an organization that hopes to fly in from a different
area and oftentimes lacks a complex understanding of the cultural, political, and
logistical context.
2. Pay attention to accountability, transparency, and governance. As a donor, you
want to ensure that the money you’re donating to an organization is going to directly
make an impact in aiding relief efforts. Visit Charity Navigator and read up on the
organization you’re thinking of donating to. On an organization’s Charity Navigator
profile, you’ll be able to access the tools, ratings, and information you need to find a
charity that matches your philanthropic criteria. You’ll also be able to see their impact in
action through Charity Navigator’s partnership with GuideStar, Classy, Impact Matters,
and Global Giving.
3. Support organizations that have short, medium, and long-term plans for
disaster response. Effective disaster response requires sustainability; an organization
should address the most pressing issues first, then form plans to address long-term
recovery for those affected by the disaster. If an organization can’t outline their plan for
aid, look elsewhere.
4. Don’t send things that aren’t needed. Supplies that may seem to be obviously
needed in the wake of a disaster (clothing, water, food) may not actually be the supplies
that people need or that organizations are able to distribute. Sending donated items that
are not useful, are culturally inappropriate, or undercut local markets could result in
what many relief workers call “the secondary disaster.” Check with the organization to
learn what is actually needed before starting a supply drive or mailing a box to an
organization’s office. For example, you might discover that organizations actually need
donations to cover purchasing locally-sold supplies in the disaster area as a way to help
the local economy recover.
5. Follow up on how your support was used if you don’t hear back. All
organizations should already be doing this, but if you don’t receive an update after your
donation, reach out to find out how your support was used to make a difference. We
believe that donors are entitled to see the impact, and organizations should be ready to
provide details about how funds were spent and what impact was made. It’s part of the
philanthropic journey, and creates trust, transparency, and relationship of accountability.

With a little bit of research on the forefront, you can make a marked difference in
the lives of people affected by a disaster or humanitarian crisis. And it all can be
started with a simple search on Charity Navigator.
