This program is hosted by our partner, Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.

Philanthropic giving often spikes after high-profile disasters. Yet, crises that layer conflict, political instability and large-scale humanitarian needs often pose barriers that deter engagement.   

New research findings from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and Accountable Now highlight that while funders care deeply about humanitarian crises, they seek clear, proximate and safe pathways for action that can be harder to find.   

This webinar will look beyond the headlines to explore what mobilizes philanthropy to support complex crises. Panelists will bridge the perspectives of philanthropy and frontline response to discuss why some crises receive philanthropic attention while others remain underfunded, what drives donors to take action, and solutions and opportunities for unlocking greater philanthropic engagement.
