DOUGLAS STOCKHAM

President

Douglas (Doug) Stockham co-founded Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF)  in 2011 to help companies take care of their team members in need. More than a decade later, EAF administers over 350 employer-sponsored disaster and hardship relief funds on a global scale. As a low-cost, third-party administrator, EAF independently administers all fund activities —including accepting donations, objectively reviewing grant applications, and awarding and distributing grants — while also maintaining legal and regulatory compliance. Since its inception, EAF has awarded over $329 million in financial assistance to more than 411,000 individuals and families in need around the world.

Bringing his entrepreneurial spirit to EAF, Doug created an organization that remains agile and adaptable by harnessing technology, developing scalable platforms and procedures, and constantly evaluating and improving processes. He has positioned EAF to successfully respond to large scale disasters – including devastating hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017, the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and today’s ongoing conflict in Ukraine – ensuring that financial assistance reaches those in need no matter the location or obstacle.

Doug earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Business Administration degree in finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
