Disaster Relief

Children, the elderly and poor populations worldwide bear the brunt of natural and man-made disasters.

Countering a disaster requires a coordinated and immediate response by allied charities to deploy aid to the greatest number of victims.

By investing in shelter, food, water, funds, medical care and supplies, we can ensure life-saving intervention that relieves and rebuilds families, communities and economies.

Help provide disaster relief by supporting Global Impact charities through your employee giving campaign.
