Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP)
CDP supports the long-term recovery of devastated communities. Areas hit by major catastrophes tend to receive an abundance of donations for the immediate need to save lives. But frequently funds run out, and attention wanes, before the area rebuilds with the infrastructure needed to avert the next catastrophe. CDP supports that long-term process of building resilience.
