PHILANTHROPY WEAVING TOGETHER RESOURCES FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
A philanthropic network that coordinates within, across, and beyond the sector to minimize the economic, social, and environmental impacts of disasters, especially on vulnerable frontline and fenceline communities.
Our Purpose
The Oregon Disaster Funders Network leverages philanthropy’s ability to reduce the negative impact of disasters on communities—particularly historically underserved and disinvested communities and places—by supporting, communicating, and coordinating within, across, and beyond the philanthropic sector, with public entities, and with local initiatives to support all phases of the disaster lifecycle: preparation, response, and recovery.
The Network also creates shared resources and strengthens relationships to improve systems within the sector and beyond. This relationship-building is critical to establishing the long-term preparedness and resiliency necessary for successful post-disaster community recovery.
By empowering communities through increased and better coordinated funding, they, in turn, are more equipped to keep focus where it belongs––mobilizing resources, resolving disaster trauma, removing barriers to recovery access, and building resiliency to reduce a disaster's impact.

“In all stages of the disaster lifecycle, relationships matter—a lot. I would go as far as to say relationships that a community has ahead of a disaster are the greatest predictor of how well they will fare during and after a disaster."

“We were able to meet a majority of our early response and recovery needs thanks to multiple funders from the Oregon Disaster Funders Network. Having a network that can move funds quickly and coordinate on their own - especially as things are so hectic for us following a disaster - is really powerful. Go Oregon!”
