Built to serve your community. Designed to support you.

Your Community Foundation plays a vital role in supporting donors, local organizations, and the communities that depend on you. You can expand your impact by partnering with Emergency Assistance Foundation to quickly and efficiently provide cash grants directly to individuals in the wake of hardship or disaster.

 

We’ll provide the infrastructure, technology, and compliance expertise, so your team can stay focused on what matters most: serving your community.

Direct cash
grantmaking.

Delivering cash grants directly to individuals requires specialized expertise. We’ve spent more than 15 years refining a process that makes it quick, efficient, and cost-effective. We’ll serve as an extension of your foundation, so you can meet every donor’s giving intent without hesitation.

Funds for
your community.

Designed around your donors’ giving priorities and aligned with your foundation’s mission, we’ll establish a standalone, white-label relief fund in your name to support a specific charitable class within your community. Your brand and donor relationships remain at the forefront, while we handle the hard parts behind the scenes: administration, compliance, and grantmaking infrastructure. You’ll maximize your impact without adding to your workload.

Disaster response
on day one.

Most foundations respond to disasters after they happen – launching emergency appeals, waiting on donations, and then determining who receives grants, how they’re distributed, and when. Our People First Fund fills a void in traditional disaster response, allowing your foundation to act immediately and deploy direct cash grants to community members when they need it most.

Global
grantmaking.

Enable your donors to give beyond U.S. borders. We already have the infrastructure in place to deliver grants to individuals around the world quickly and compliantly.

Relief fund
design & advisory.

If you’re exploring or refining a disaster or hardship relief fund, we have the expertise and resources to help ensure it’s compliant, operational, and aligned with donor intent. You’ll lead the strategy, while we make sure it works in practice.
