Draper South Asia Floods Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund

About

Monsoon rains and heavy flooding in late August have impacted millions of people in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. To support their recovery efforts, Bright Funds has established the South Asia Floods Disaster Response and Recovery Fund. This fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing disaster response in the region. Through a single tax deductible donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. We have initially selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts and medical assistance.The composition of nonprofits in this fund is subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.
