Disaster Response

InterAction Members Accepting Material Donations
 

InterAction Members Accepting Material Donations

Some InterAction members accept certain material donations for international disasters. These organizations are a good place to start the planning process for a material donation. Remember to contact them before you begin collections.

If you are looking to make a material donation for a specific disaster, you can start by reviewing InterAction Members Respond: How You Can Help. These lists identify InterAction members that are responding to particular crises and give information on their activities. While most of these agencies accept only cash donations, the activity section of these lists may identify some members that are accepting material donations for that crisis.

If the disaster for which you would like to make a material donation is not included in these lists, or if none of the agencies listed report that they are accepting material donations for that disaster, you could also contact the agencies listed below. These agencies are InterAction members that routinely accept material donations. However, it is important to remember that not all donated materials are needed by each organization for every disaster, because victims' needs will depend on the particular crisis. You should therefore always contact these agencies before shipping any material to them.

As InterAction members, the agencies listed below certify adherence to InterAction's PVO Standards.
