When disaster strikes, local Anglican churches are often among the first to respond. They are already part of the affected community, know where the most urgent needs are and can act immediately. Our Emergency Fund enables us to stand alongside these local partners by releasing funds quickly, helping them meet immediate needs and save lives.
Unlike our projects and appeals, which require dedicated fundraising, the Emergency Fund is ready and available before disaster occurs. When a church partner asks for urgent assistance, we can send money directly without waiting to establish and promote a public appeal. This reduces delays and places resources in the hands of those already responding on the ground.
Our initial Emergency Fund grants are often around $5,000, enabling local partners to begin their response immediately. These funds provide vital early support to protect lives, assist affected families and address urgent needs while the situation develops and further assistance is considered.
Donate to the Emergency Fund today and help us respond immediately when our partners and their communities need us most.
Our emergency fund delivers high-impact assistance in urgent situations. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, churches will be involved in conducting rapid needs assessments, mobilising volunteers, and opening up resource hubs. This is why immediate assistance is so vital for equipping local churches to deliver aid during the key response period.
The amount of immediate financial assistance we can offer local Anglican communities depends on the size of our Emergency Fund. Your donation to the fund can go a long way toward helping affected communities within the most critical timeframe.
