THIS INFORMATION IS ALSO SHARED WITH OUR PARTNERS, CLIENTS AND THE MEDIA.CDP PROVIDED INFORMATION ON DISASTERS AND DISASTER PHILANTHROPY VIA ITS WEBSITE, BLOGS, WEBINARS, SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING INFORMATION ON DISASTERS, CDP FOCUSED ON PROVIDING RELEVANT GRANT MAKER AND FIELD PRACTITIONER CONTENT AND INCLUDING NGO DISASTER RELIEF AND RECOVERY STAKEHOLDER INPUTS.

THE PURPOSE OF THE ANNUAL REPORT IS TO MORE ACCURATELY CAPTURE HOW PHILANTHROPY CURRENTLY RESPONDS TO DISASTERS AND ENCOURAGE THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THE FULL ARC OF A DISASTER, NOT JUST THE IMMEDIATE HUMANITARIAN NEEDS.CDP WORKS WITH CANDID TO ESTABLISH BASELINE DATA, AGGREGATE MULTIPLE DATA STREAMS, AND TRACK DISASTER GIVING GLOBALLY. AN EXPERT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND CONSULTATION WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS HELPS TO GUIDE THE PROJECT. AS THIS REPORT GROWS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, CDP AND CANDID EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION AND COLLABORATION ACROSS THE DISASTER PHILANTHROPY FIELD TO GROW A DATA-GATHERING NETWORK COMPOSED OF MAJOR GRANTORS AND GRANTEES IN THE DISASTER FIELD. SUCH A NETWORK WILL CONTRIBUTE TO CDP AND CANDID'S EFFORTS TO CREATE USEFUL AND RELEVANT TOOLS TO ASSIST BETTER DECISION-MAKING, TRANSPARENCY, AND COORDINATION.CDP, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNCIL OF NEW JERSEY GRANTMAKERS AND IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UNITED PHILANTHROPY FORUM, ISSUED THE DISASTER PHILANTHROPY PLAYBOOK IN 2016 AS A COMPREHENSIVE RESOURCE OF PROMISING PRACTICES AND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO GUIDE THE PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY IN RESPONDING TO FUTURE DISASTERS.THE PLAYBOOK COMPILES IDEAS AND APPROACHES FROM MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS AND IS AN EVOLVING RESOURCE DESIGNED FOR RELEVANT UPDATES AND KNOWLEDGE-BUILDING.

WHAT CAN WE DO TO PLAN AND PREPARE OUR COMMUNITY? WHAT ABOUT MITIGATION? HOW DO WE HELP BUILD A RESILIENT COMMUNITY? WHAT SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT IN THE MONTHS AND YEARS AFTER A DISASTER AS WE UNDERTAKE THE ARDUOUS PATH OF RECOVERY?CDP CONTINUED TO EXPAND THE CONTENT AVAILABLE IN THE DISASTER PHILANTHROPY PLAYBOOK IN 2021.
