CDP Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund

All signs indicate that the 2022 hurricane season will be a daunting one even as disaster and emergency resources continue to be stretched thin because of COVID-19.

The CDP Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund supports initiatives that prioritize communities devastated by Atlantic hurricanes, especially those facing systemic barriers to equitable recovery. Click To Tweet

We focus on meeting medium- and long-term needs from storms like Hurricanes Ian and Fiona. Examples of such needs include rebuilding homes and livelihoods, mental health services, and other challenges identified by communities that arise as recovery efforts progress.

The pandemic still makes evacuation, traditional response efforts such as food and shelter, and support for more marginalized and underserved populations such as the elderly and those with disabilities more challenging.

The Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund helps focus on the greatest areas of need for the recovery process.

This fund supports these disasters:

Medium and long-term recovery

We support programs such as rebuilding homes and livelihoods, meeting the needs of populations marginalized by systemic inequities, providing mental health services and addressing other urgent challenges that arise as recovery efforts progress as identified by the affected communities.

Community- and expert-informed

In consultation with local stakeholders and recovery experts, our staff identifies specific unmet recovery needs and funding gaps in each community. We explore investing in all geographic areas affected by the Atlantic hurricanes.

Intersectional racial equity lens addressing urgent emerging needs

We identify gaps in recovery funding to help direct financial support where needed most.

With funding from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Atlantic Hurricane Recovery Fund, our grantee partners are helping affected communities rebuild stronger.
