Supporting recovery from natural disasters and other global health crises

The world faces many global health challenges, but crises such as natural disasters, war, and famine take a particular toll. Global support can aid survivors and strengthen recovery efforts. In times of crisis, CIGH uses the expertise and connections of its core leaders to identify and recommend effective and reputable ways to support survivors and recovery.

We will update this page with recommended resources and ways to help, based on specific crises as they occur.

 


Best practices for financial donations

Financial donations are often a powerful way to support relief efforts. By donating to reputable organizations on the ground, you can help provide essential resources to those in need in a timely fashion.

Vetting Reputable Organizations
It’s important to verify the credibility of organizations before making donations. Look for transparency, accountability, and a proven track record of effective aid delivery. Websites such as Guidestar and Charity Navigator are excellent resources for vetting an organization’s track record, fiscal responsibility, and good standing.
