Thank you for your generous donation to GlobalGiving’s Pakistan Flood Relief Fund. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund are already making a difference, helping to provide food, water, and shelter in communities affected by the flooding that submerged one-third of Pakistan.
Within two weeks of launching the fund at the end of August, GlobalGiving awarded the first round of emergency grants to vetted nonprofit partner organizations based in Pakistan. Since then, we have awarded an additional round of emergency grants to organizations providing relief after the devastating flooding across Pakistan, especially in the most severely affected provinces like Sindh.
Nearly all of these vetted GlobalGiving partners are based locally in Pakistan and have long-term track records of serving their communities before the floods. And they will be there long after the floods to lead the relief and recovery processes.
Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported through your generosity:
Your support of the GlobalGiving Pakistan Flood Relief Fund powers community-led responses, and it means local organizations get the critical resources they need to help their community rebuild after the flooding. The need remains enormous for flood-affected communities in Pakistan. We are committed to providing ongoing support to those most affected by the flooding—long after the media coverage ends. And you are helping us do that.
Thank you for supporting community-led disaster recovery. You can find a full list of nonprofits receiving grants from the Pakistan Flood Relief Fund at the end of this report.
With immense gratitude,
Chase + the GlobalGiving team

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.
