Needs-based supplies
Support supplies and assistance identified as useful by affected communities, response partners, or credible local sources.
Emergency response
Urgent support should match the need on the ground.
The Foundation's emergency response priority focuses on needs-based supplies, responsible coordination, useful logistics, and support for community recovery.
Learn about the priority, support emergency response, offer relevant skills, or discuss institutional resources and partnerships.
What this priority includes
Move the right support, not simply more support.
Crisis response works best when needs are confirmed, local capacity is respected, and resources can be delivered safely and usefully.
Support emergency responseLogistics and coordination
Help connect funding, procurement, transport, information, and partner capacity without duplicating existing response efforts.
Recovery and partner support
Recognize that recovery continues after immediate relief through schools, housing, livelihoods, health, and community organizations.
How we approach the work
Useful action starts with clear responsibilities.
1
Verify before mobilizing
Confirm needs, delivery constraints, and partner capacity before collecting or moving goods.
2
Coordinate with credible responders
Local authorities, experienced nonprofits, community groups, and specialized providers should guide the response where appropriate.
3
Plan beyond the first days
Immediate aid and longer-term recovery require different resources, timelines, and accountability.
