b'RESILIENCE GRANTMAKING IN ACTIONDisaster Philanthropy: A holistic approachAt its best, disaster philanthropy not only addresses the crisis caused by a pandemic or natural disaster, but it also fosters resilience in communities as whole institutions and not only in the charities that serve them. The holistic needs of vulnerable communities must also be met in order to build resilience and independence in the face of future disasters that are inevitable. Thick skin is better than many bandages placed after each successive crisis. In this light, donors should view the funding of charities as an upfront investment that allows these organizations to thrive, to meet their charitable goals, and to address both community and global needs, rather than a series of expenses incurred after a never-ending string of existential crises.Additional Survey ResponsesScope of work by Country100%90%80%70%60%50%40%30%20%10%BRAZIL ARGENTINA RUSSIA INDIA SOUTH AFRICAEducation Gender Equality Animal Protection Religion and FaithHealthcare EnvironmentalArts and Culture Sports and RescreationHuman Rights ProtectionPAGE18CAF AmericaSurvey, Volume 8 | Lessons in Disaster Philanthropy| cafamerica.org'
