The most effective way to help survivors following a natural disaster is with a financial gift to nonprofit organizations that have strong presence in affected communities. These organizations have already produced response plans for emergency situations such as these. They depend on our donations to provide immediate relief.
More so than donated goods, financial donations can be given quickly, are versatile, and remain helpful beyond the initial response by aiding in long-term recovery work. No matter how much you can give, every dollar goes a long way.
In fact, many nonprofits set up special disaster relief funds in response to natural disasters, so you can ensure that your designated gift is supporting the most urgent disaster.
