One year after Hurricane Sandy swept through our region, our communities have made great progress in recovery and are building back stronger. But so much remains to be done and the philanthropic community is eager to understand how it can best support ongoing efforts.
This half-day conference will provide an opportunity for funders with a variety of programmatic interests to join with key community leaders, government officials and recovery organization leaders.
Program:

Response and Recovery: What Philanthropic Efforts Worked, What Didn’t?
Leaders from three of the biggest New Year area Sandy funders, alongside those from nonprofits heavily engaged in response and recovery will discuss philanthropy’s performance post-Sandy. Philanthropy New York’s “Best Practices in Disaster Grantmaking,” a report created in collaboration with leading disaster funders post-Katrina, will serve as a conversation tool to assess performance and lift up practices – based on what we have learned from past disaster grantmaking experiences, and what new lessons Sandy presented.
