Training Leaders
We train and deploy leaders who bring calm to the chaos in both relief and recovery stages of a disaster.
Preparing Communities
We help communities prepare before disaster through Relief Hubs, local partnerships, and readiness strategies that strengthen response before the storm arrives.
Providing Relief
We coordinate volunteers, organizations & resources into a unified, effective response - averaging a 16x Return on Mission for donors.
Empowering Recovery
Recovery takes time. We walk with communities as they rebuild, restore stability, and move forward with hope in the weeks and months after disaster.
Leadership, Organization, and Clear Communication. In the critical weeks and months following a disaster, they can mean the difference between community restoration or collapse. Here is how we work to restore communities:
- We find the hardest hit communities with the greatest needs.We partner with locals who already know and serve the area
- We assess, organize and clarify the needs of the community
- We clearly communicate the specific needs to partners, government officials, donors and volunteers and coordinate relief and recovery work with efficiency.
In this way, we act as a force multiplier on every hour volunteered, and every dollar given.
This means for every mission dollar donated to CRR, we multiply it’s effectiveness in amount of work done. For example, when Hurricane Ian struck Ft. Myers, CRR deployed approximately $42k in mission funds but accomplished $1.2million worth of work for homeowners.
Because we believe stewardship is so important (and rare), we’ve created a metric to measure our effectiveness called “Return on Mission”.
When CRR raises money during a disaster, 100% of the money raised (minus credit card fees) goes straight to helping that community recover. No shaving off the top for administrative fees or marketing campaigns – just real, practical help.
We are able to guarantee that 100% of funds raised during a disaster go directly to the community in need because of the generous individuals, foundations, and corporations that cover our operational, administrative, and training expenses as part of our Always Ready Fund.
When you give to CRR, your dollar goes further because of our multiplier effect. After Hurricane Ian, we turned $42k in donations into $1.2 million of work for homeowners (43x multiplier!) due to our partner relationships and volunteer network.
Train to join the teams leading the immediate response and spearheading the recovery process.
Help your team, organization, or business prepare for disaster and be equipped your community and those around the nation.
