When disaster strikes, families feel overwhelmed, unsure, and afraid. CRR trains and deploys leaders who bring clarity, compassion, and coordinated relief — ensuring communities never walk through the storm alone.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers form disaster leadership teams that help communities strengthen communities before a disaster strikes and help communities in crisis recover in the fastest possible time
Due to our unique force multiplication model that activates local and national partners, volunteers and incoming resources to meet the most amount of needs, we achieve a “multiplier effect” on every dollar donated to communities during relief efforts.
This means for every mission dollar donated to CRR, we multiply its effectiveness by the amount of work done.
Because we believe stewardship is so important (and rare), we’ve created a metric to measure our effectiveness called “Return on Mission”
100% to Communities in Need
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.
Always Ready Fund
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.
16x Impact (or more!) on Every Dollar
When you give to CRR, your dollar goes further because of our multiplier effect. After Hurricane Ian, we turned $14,700 dollars in donations into $955,000 value of work (a 64x multiplier!) due to our partner relationships and volunteer network.
