CAF America’s Global Relief Navigator provides donors with a real time map of partners responding to current crises, or strengthening disaster preparedness, that they can safely give to.

CAF America is committed to providing nonprofits and donors with the network and infrastructure to respond to the immediate and long-term needs of communities facing crisis. To better meet that need, we have developed the Global Relief Navigator.

We recognize that the threat of climate change and ever changing political situations have created substantial vulnerabilities in every community around the world. Coupled with unique – and at times difficult – regulatory contexts, cross-border giving in support for humanitarian relief and resilience is not always a straightforward path.

Learn more about the framework we’ve employed while building the Global Relief Navigator and our approach to monitoring disaster and crisis events in our introductory blog, at right.

About the Global Relief Navigator

The Global Relief Navigator highlights the partnership network that CAF America has built to better facilitate efficient international grantmaking; meaning donors can make regulatory-compliant donations in support of charities they can trust. When using the Global Relief Navigator, you can search for organizations responding to Active Calls for Response as they address current disasters and crises. If you have additional questions about the Global Relief Navigator, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.

CAF America’s Global Relief Navigator was developed and is maintained through the generous support of the Citi Foundation. The map is updated daily to ensure your giving options are addressing the real time situation. View our additional terms and information below.
