Donor's Guide to Gulf Coast Relief and Recovery

Date Published: May 1, 2006
Publisher: New York Regional Association of Grantmakers
# of pages: 76

The Guide contains information on: a selection of nonprofit organizations working with populations affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and NYRAG member-funded nonprofit organizations working with populations affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It also provides information and resources to grantmakers and donors who are considering funding programs that address the needs of those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The mission of the task force is to support the individual and collective efforts of foundations, corporations, and individual donors to meet the immediate and long-term needs of displaced persons and survivors, and help ensure an equitable rebuilding and transformation of all communities affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

To advance this mission, the task force will gather and distill information to inform existing and effective philanthropic practices and opportunities in the hurricane-affected areas, disseminate the information to current and prospective donors, and facilitate cooperative efforts.
