Delivering Aid Immediately After Disaster Strikes.

Our Emergency Fund is a small pool of money that has been set aside with future disasters in mind. While our other initiatives require specific fundraising to make an impact, such as projects and appeals, our Emergency Fund is there for cases of extreme need.

The Fund is our second humanitarian initiative, and is designed to deliver aid immediately post-disaster. Sometimes, a church partner will reach out and ask for our assistance with response and recovery. Rather than opening and promoting an appeal, our Emergency Fund enables us to send money directly to the community in need, expediting the process and reducing logistical delays for our partner. Often sent in smaller sums of about $5000, donations from this fund support smaller yet vital community initiatives.

To support our future responses to immediate community needs, donate to the Emergency Fund today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any donation is valuable in an emergency. Donations of just $20 can support the purchase of dozens of water purification tablets for families in areas with no safe water. Donations of $50-100 can support short-term family food packages, or enable local churches to buy supplies in bulk. No matter the size of the donation, your support will go toward all kinds of humanitarian aid, including:
- Food packages
- Water or safe water purification methods
- Shelters and evacuation hubs
- Psychosocial support
- Vaccinations
- Sanitation and Hygiene supplies
When we support an initiative, we ensure that they follow the four humanitarian principles and humanitarian best practice.

Humanity means that a response must address human suffering wherever it is found. Humanity is the foundation of restoring human dignity and basic human rights.

Neutrality says that humanitarian organisations must not take sides in hostilities, nor engage in any politocal, racial, religious, or ideological controversies.

Impartiality is the idea that humanitarian response should be based solely on the needs of an individual, prioritising objective need without discrimination. It does not prioritise groups based on affiliation to any social category.

The final principle is independence, meaning that a humanitarian action must remain autonomous from the political, economic, military, or other objectives that any actor may hold.
Anglican Missions only uses 10% of donated funds for internal operation costs. This money enables us to keep the lights on, pay our staff, and travel to project locations to perform needs assessments and reporting.
