Working Together in Times of Disaster: 2020 to Present

This session will showcase lessons learned in disaster response from the 2020 global pandemic to the 2024 hurricanes that devastated Florida’s Gulf Coast. A collective effort from every department rooted in trust, clarity, and alignment is essential in deploying life sustaining support, as quickly as possible. Thoughtful and intentional collaboration with donors and other local funders can ensure all available dollars are deployed into the community with maximum impact. Foundation leaders and staff from all functional teams will leave this session with a deeper understanding of their role in disaster response.
