By Alli Conroe | Senior Associate, Disaster Response
Your donations continue to bring life-saving food, water, shelter, medical care, and livelihood restoration to communities across Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic.
As GlobalGiving partner, CHSAN in Haiti, shared:
“Your contribution is not only helping restore food security in our region, but it is also breathing new life into the farming community. The solidarity you are showing towards the affected farmers is invaluable.”
Two months after Hurricane Melissa’s landfall, your donations helped fund nine new grants to trusted, community-led partners providing care, relief, and support on the ground in the Caribbean. Here are a few of the vital efforts you have made possible:
Your support of the GlobalGiving Hurricane Melissa Relief Fund bolsters community-led responses like these. It means the communities they serve can strengthen their ability to respond to future changing climate and weather conditions, lowering their risk for future disasters like Hurricane Melissa.As the work transitions to recovery, your generosity is more important than ever.
With gratitude,
Alli + The GlobalGiving Team

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
