Article1Assisting with emergency needs in Chile
 
With another earthquake having left a considerable path of destruction - this time in Chile - we again are offering resources for Rhode Islanders who are looking for ways to help.
 
Our thanks to the Council on Foundations, the nation's professional association of foundations, for these resources:

  • A summary of what many of the "on the ground" relief organizations are doing to assist. (Under "NGO Response," click on the name of an organization to learn how to support its efforts.)

  • "Eight Principles of Good Disaster Grantmaking"
View these resources at Responding to the Earthquake in Chile.
