What is a disaster?
Disasters are not only hurricanes.
They are events and policy shifts that destabilize families, disrupt care, and threaten survival—especially for girls and women.
We fund in ways that reinforce cooperation rather than replacement and contribution rather than consumption. Decades of research on mutual aid, collective efficacy, and community-driven development show that when people are resourced—not overridden—recovery is faster, more dignified, and more sustainable.
Cost-sharing is not about doing less. It is about doing what lasts.
By investing alongside community members, GrassROOTS strengthens the resilience that already exists—amplifying it, not managing it. This is what it means to take the community seriously. This is what it means to fund differently.
The Disaster Relief Fund allows GrassROOTS to respond quickly, consistently, and without pausing our core programs.
Support girls. Support women. Strengthen communities.
If you would like to get involved and make a difference in the lives of young girls, email us at info@grassrootscommunityfoundation.org. Let us know what you are interested in assisting, where geographically do you want to help, and your contact information.
