Disaster Response Funds
Mobilizing giving for local communities in need
Disaster Response Funds enable donors to give quickly and confidently when disaster strikes. Myriad works with a network of local disaster response charities, who provide immediate relief and facilitate long-term recovery. Donors can set up their own fund for a specific relief effort or support our pooled funds that benefit trusted, effective nonprofits in affected communities overseas.

DisasterLink - A curated network of experienced, local nonprofits
DisasterLink is a network of 46 trusted partners in 17 countries at high risk or vulnerability for natural disasters. Each pre-positioned member is a trusted member of their community and highly invested in the areas they serve, enabling them to activate immediately during a crisis and help communities rebuild and recover in the long term. While the network is currently focused on Asia, we are working on expanding it to other regions.
Successful disaster response also depends on proper preparation. As a warming climate increases the frequency and intensity of disasters, we also know that many are predictable. In addition to event-specific campaigns, Myriad USA supports our DisasterLink network members by raising funds to help communities prepare for disasters. This includes support for activities such as early warning systems, evacuation planning, and capacity building for local responders. Support our DisasterLink Emergency Fund.
