Brazil Flood Relief Fund

What's Happening and How to Help

We believe that organizations that are deeply rooted in local communities are in the best position to provide long-term support for survivors of natural disasters like these. By funding the relief efforts of local organizations, donations to this fund have the potential to build stronger response capacity so that these organizations are better equipped to face future challenges.

The projects listed below are led by vetted GlobalGiving partners responding to this disaster. You can donate directly to a specific project or to GlobalGiving’s Brazil Flood Relief Fund and we'll allocate it to where it's needed most. GlobalGiving will post reports about how your donation has been put to use.

Help Porto Alegre Recover From Severe Flood Event
All Hands and Hearts deployed volunteers to support local relief efforts in Porto Alegre, the state capital of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, immediately following the underreported flooding in April-May, that affected millions across the region and drastically altered the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable. We will continue to provide critical scopes of work in Porto Alegre, supporting the most essential, high priority needs identified by the community's own locally-driven response.
ERM Brazil: Support Rio Grande do Sul
by sitawi
The ERM Brazil Philanthropic Fund in support of Rio Grande do Sul is an initiative of ERM Brazil, the largest global consulting company dedicated exclusively to sustainability, in partnership with Sitawi, a non-profit organization that develops financial infrastructure for the Impact Economy. The funds raised will be allocated first to ERM Brazil employees impacted by the climate and their respective communities.
Rebuild Life in Flooded South Brasil
Casa Socio-Environmental Fund will provide direct financial support for traditional and most affected communities in Rio Grande do Sul state to regain their bearings and rebuild their lives in manners that also strengthen their resilience and adaptive capacity to deal with the losses and challenges caused by the latest floods.
Floods in Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil
Once again, heavy rainfall has caused flooding throughout Rio Grande do Sul, which has enforced a state of emergency. Our staff and volunteers are working to allocate resources to shelters and families affected by the floods. An initial share of donations is being allocated to urgent needs, such as packaging for lunch boxes, hygiene kits, and food. After this initial wave, there will still be a long road ahead to recovery, as cities are cleaned up and families return to their homes.

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
