Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy is a multi-year collaborative effort by Foundation Center and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to document the landscape of giving for disasters and humanitarian crises. Our aim is to use data to help foundations, in particular, be more effective and strategic in their disaster-related investments.
Share Data
In order to provide a comprehensive picture of disaster-related funding flows, Foundation Center and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy are always on the look-out for more and better-quality data. But we need YOUR help!
If you are a donor, consider sharing information about your disaster-related giving directly with us. E-reporting ensures that the timeliest information is available to the field and that the story of your giving is told accurately.
It’s simple! Download grants data into an Excel spreadsheet and email it to gms@foundationcenter.org. Foundation Center’s software partners make e-reporting even easier, offering a pre-formatted export function that automatically pulls necessary data into an Excel file.
Required details include:
- Recipient name
- Recipient address
- Amount
- Fiscal year
- Description (specifically, disaster type and disaster assistance strategy, if available)
- Transaction ID (if available)
Take a look at our eReporting template.
We also invite other data-gathering organizations to help us collect more up-to-date and comprehensive funding data. Contact Tanya Gulliver-Garcia, Tanya.Gulliver-Garcia@disasterphilanthropy.org.
