2015 Disaster Snapshot

• Last FEMA Major Disaster Declaration was in September 2014

for severe storms and associated flooding.

• Storms and associated flooding represent the greatest natural

hazard to Michigan.

• Community crises have been an important piece of the

disaster dialogue in Michigan for well over a year.

What Does Disaster Giving Look Like?

In the U.S., disaster giving is quick and largely reactive:

• 1-4 weeks following a disaster: Over a third of private

giving is completed

• 1-2 months following a disaster: Two-thirds of private giving

is completed

• After 6 months: Giving stops

Tend to be defined by cause:

• Natural disaster
• Complex
• Humanitarian emergency
• Manmade crisis
• Act of Terror

The federal government utilizes the Stafford Act to direct resources to states in a Presidential Disaster declaration.

What You Need to Know: Disaster Definitions and Federal Processes

FEMA Declarations – Does it Matter?

• Federal disaster declarations

shape delivery of resources. For private philanthropy to be effective, especially in the long- term, you need to know what resources are being provided federally, by the state, and by non-profits.

• Overall though, very little federal

assistance (less than $35,000/HH) goes to people.

Types of Disasters and Declarations Vary

Florida Gov. Rick Scott's Request for Federal Emergency Declaration is Unprecedented After a Mass Shooting

Relatively new framework to provide federal support to States beyond FEMA assistance. This means beyond response and to address issues more in line with other federal agencies.

New: Recovery Support Functions (RSFs)

• The Center for Disaster Philanthropy helps individual, family,

corporate, and institutional donors answer the question, “How can I help?”

• CDP seeks to match best philanthropic practices with the needs
• f disaster-affected communities.
• CDP’s expertise provides donors with a nexus of public and

private networking, access to information, analysis, and educational resources about disasters that helps them determine when, where and how to invest in disaster response.

Center for Disaster Philanthropy

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy aims to:

• Increase the effectiveness of donor dollars given to disasters;
• Bring greater attention to preparedness and recovery

initiatives;

• Provide timely and relevant disaster-related information; and,
• Create a unified platform of resources for disaster

philanthropists.

What We Do

• 1. Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy
• 2. Midwest Early Recovery Fund
• 3. The Disaster Philanthropy Playbook

CDP Three Innovative Programs

Foundation Funding by Disaster Type

Foundation Funding by Disaster Assistance Strategy

Foundation Funding by Region

Data Dashboard

• Improving currency, quality, and

quantity of data

• Funding the full life cycle of disasters, not

just immediate response

• Data Gathering Network

CDP Early Recovery Fund

We are involved in disaster operations by making

grants to organizations supporting the needs of vulnerable populations within communities affected by low-attention disasters in the Midwest, efficiently and effectively, using a unique ‘clip-board’ grant-making process.

The Early Recovery Fund is making grants to:

• Community-based non-profit organizations to increase their

ability to respond to those affected by the disaster.

• Ensure the development of DCW/DCM as early as possible

following a natural disaster.

• Ensure the development of a community driven long-term

recovery processes.

• Assist communities in assessing/meeting the needs of

disaster-affected vulnerable populations.

• Meet the needs of children post disaster

What CDP is Doing with ERF Funds

The Midwest Early Recovery Fund can be tapped within two weeks to one year after natural disasters—tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes, landslides and wildfires—in the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The fund began grantmaking in early 2015 and estimates making approximately 40 grants over the next two years to community based organizations and national disaster partners for community services support and disaster training, education, and outreach.

During 2011 – 2013, MACP funded five grants to community foundations to support their philanthropic response and goals for long- term community recovery in disasters local to their community. Community Foundation of the Ozarks (2 grants) Minot Area Community Foundation North Dakota Community Foundation Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation This led us to develop the Early Recovery Fund concept with Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
