The people behind local nonprofits often live and work [where] they serve,” says Victoria Vrana, CEO of GlobalGiving, a crowdfunding platform for grassroots charitable projects. For that reason, "they are able to deliver long-term solutions that are tailor-made [to] the needs of their communities.
As deadly fighting between Israel and Hamas continues, so too does a dire humanitarian crisis in the area. Impact Your World has gathered a list of vetted organizations that are on the ground responding. You can support their work.
Here's a list of some of the groups currently collecting donations for those affected by the earthquake. The resources on this list have been given a 90 percent rating or above on Charity Navigator, a charity assessment organization that evaluates non-profits and other charitable institutions. GlobalGiving has created a Morocco Earthquake Relief Fund and is accepting donations.
Almost $500,000 has been raised so far by this nonprofit in an effort to “meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, medicine, and shelter,” and you can help them hit their goal by donating.
On Wednesday, [GlobalGiving] launched its Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund aimed at raising $5 million from philanthropists and individual donors. GlobalGiving CEO Victoria Vrana told Newsweek via phone on Thursday that the organization plans to send money within the next few days, focusing on the hardest-hit areas as identified by its worldwide disaster team.
A group of more than 20 giving platforms, including Charity Navigator, Givebutter, and GlobalGiving, have collaborated to create a new vehicle to spur giving to Black-led nonprofits. The BackBlack campaign is aiming to reverse the chronic underfunding of Black-led organizations and to provide resources and tools for corporate and individual donors to play a bigger role in “advancing social impact and justice in philanthropy,” according to a news release.
Connecting donors to local nonprofits around the world is core to GlobalGiving's mission. That work includes doing grantmaking and vetting for donors who want to give to local groups and managing disaster funds to help donors respond to crises quickly and effectively, Vrana said. "We're trying to change the way philanthropy and aid work, in order to center community leaders and proximate leaders," she said.
GlobalGiving, a nonprofit that connects other nonprofits to donors, has launched the Turkey and Syria Earthquake Relief Fund, with a goal of raising $5 million dollars to help with the immediate food, shelter and water needs. Once the initial need is completed, funds will support longer-term recovery efforts.
GlobalGiving connects emergency relief nonprofits around the world with donors. The group launched a disaster relief fund to support recovery efforts in Turkey and Syria. The fund had received $2.7 million out of its $5 million goal by Monday.
The Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund by Global Giving sprung into action once Russia declared war on Ukraine earlier this week. According to the organization's official website, your donation will help "affected communities in Ukraine, with a focus on the most vulnerable, including children, who need access to food, medical services, and psychosocial support."
In 2015, relief groups received $4.2 billion in humanitarian funding — but local and national NGOs combined received just 2.3 percent of it[...]. Nonprofits like GlobalGiving are trying to change that. The U.S.-based group raises funds for small, local NGOs around the world. The idea is "to help those NGOs get the visibility and funding that only larger NGOs get," says Alison Carlman, the charity's director of impact and communications.

On GlobalGiving, my family has donated, for example, to an aid group in Bombay, India, that keeps at-risk girls from being trafficked into brothels. For Father’s Day last year, I suggested that instead of giving Dad another necktie, people sponsor a “HeroRat” through GlobalGiving. HeroRats are trained rats that sniff out landmines or TB cases, and what father wouldn’t want to be associated with a super-macho super-achieving super-altruistic oversized rat?
