In 2011, Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF) was established with the goal of assisting organizations that want to help their own during tough times. We saw a high and rising number of disasters taking place around the world with few organizations clear on how to respond efficiently and effectively. This led us to create a public charity designed to allow these organizations (our Fund Partners) to establish global disaster and hardship relief funds that can provide grants to individuals in need. Each fund is designed with a unique name, specific grant criteria, and a defined charitable class (those eligible to apply for a grant). EAF's sole purpose is to independently administer all fund activities (including accepting donations, objectively reviewing grant applications, and awarding and distributing grants) while advising Fund Partners to ensure that each fund is regulatorily compliant and increasingly effective.
