Our friends at the Foundation Center have flagged the following resources as being of interest to JFN members:
-
Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy is an online platform where funders and implementing organizations can find disaster-related giving data from private foundations, FEMA, UN OCHA, OECD and other donors. These data can be broken down by type of emergency, assistance strategy, and region and can be used by funders to identify major gaps and key partners, in addition to learning from other funders.
- The Center for Disaster Philanthropy has the following resources that might be helpful:
- General background information and list of major actors: http://disasterphilanthropy.org/disaster/hurricane-harvey

- Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund: http://disasterphilanthropy.org/cdp-fund/cdp-hurricane-harvey-recovery-fund
