Description
The Oregon Disaster Funders Network is a collaborative philanthropic initiative focused on reducing the economic, social, and environmental impacts of disasters in Oregon. The network brings together foundations, community organizations, and other funders to support all phases of the disaster lifecycle—from preparation and resilience-building to immediate response and long-term recovery. Special emphasis is placed on serving historically underserved and disinvested communities, ensuring equitable access to resources and recovery efforts. Rather than pooling funds, the network coordinates and shares funding needs with its members, who retain autonomy over their contributions.
