Content Summary :
Moved by widely publicized human suffering and increased disaster aid requests,foundations and corporations are becoming more active in the disaster relief field.Grantmakers have a distinct role to play in disasters because of their ongoing relationswith grantees, long-term perspective, flexibility and convening capacity. Lacking the sizableemergency relief resources of governments and some well-known nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs), foundations and corporate grantmakers nevertheless can make asignificant contribution, for instance, by filling critical gaps in underfunded areas likedisaster rehabilitation, prevention, research and education. Based on lessons learned from a year-long, joint study of the European FoundationCentre and the Council on Foundations, we concluded that grantmakers can be moreeffective and strategic in addressing disasters by following eight principles of gooddisaster management: 1. Do no harm. 2. Stop, look and listen before taking action. 3. Don’t act in isolation. 4. Think beyond the immediate crisis to the long term. 5. Bear in mind the expertise of local organizations. 6. Find out how prospective grantees operate. 7. Be accountable to those you are trying to help. 8. Communicate your work widely and use it as an educational tool. A number of practical suggestions for good disaster grantmaking flow from theseprinciples and are highlighted in this guide.
