Welcome to the 2018 Global Philanthropy Guide This year’s Global Philanthropy Guide has been designed to connect you with highimpact, nonprofit organizations based in Washington state that are responding to urgent humanitarian crises in the developing world. War, conflict, natural disasters, and dramatic shifts in weather patterns have all contributed to unprecedented humanitarian needs globally. From 2003 to 2013, natural disasters led to the deaths of more than 1.1 million people, caused $1.5 trillion in damage, and affected the lives of more than two billion people globally. The number of people forcibly displaced from their homes topped 65.6 million in 2016, more than the aftermath of World War II. Most concerning, famine continues to threaten the lives of 20 million people in four countries in East Africa and Yemen. Despite these alarming figures, humanitarian © Construction for Change organizations have been responding rapidly and effectively in order to save millions of lives, while also addressing the root causes of vulnerability that leave communities and countries at risk year after year. Responding organizations span from large international nonprofits to smaller in-country partners that often coordinate relief and development service delivery to reach the most marginalized populations. When we think about the most effective, comprehensive ways to respond to crises, we consider the following four levels of humanitarian emergency response: • The immediate crisis response requires intense, rapid coordination by many humanitarian organizations in order to save lives. This often takes the form of emergency medical attention and distributing large amounts of food, water, temporary shelter, and hygiene kits. • The intermediate crisis response requires aid workers to continue maintaining access to lifesaving food, water and medical care, but it is also a turning point in the recovery process, as longer term shelter, sanitation, utility and medical service systems are evaluated.

• The long-term crisis response engages communities thoughtfully in rebuilding local economies and infrastructure. • And finally, preparedness and mitigation efforts help reduce the risk of loss of life and livelihoods in future disasters. This level of response often includes working with national governments to design, fund, and implement disaster warning systems, as well as working within communities to reduce their exposure to known hazards and to increase their ability to withstand and recover from future disasters. As you consider your philanthropic priorities, please use the Global Philanthropy Guide to learn more about ways you can respond, whether you are just beginning or growing your global giving. The organizations profiled in this guide are Global Washington members, and were selected through a committee process by both of our organizations. We encourage you to browse the full directory of GlobalWA members at the end of the guide, and explore the extraordinary work they are doing to save and improve peoples’ lives globally. On behalf of Global Washington and Seattle Foundation, we want to thank you for your generous philanthropic support.
