Charitable Giving 

 

<< Home 

The links on this page provide resources for you to use to find organizations that support your chosen causes and issues. Please be generous. We don't always realize how fortunate our lives are compared to others especially in times of natural disasters and tragedies such as the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. 

 

The Unitarian Universalist Association (http://www.uua.org) and The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (http://www.uusc.org) are our denomination's focus for charitable giving and disaster relief and should be your starting point.

 

For aid for a particular disaster or cause check to see if the organization has an effort on that behalf. This list will change over time so check frequently. Please report any inaccuracies or suggestions for inclusion to the webmaster (tech@uuclvpa.org)

National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD)

NVOAD coordinates planning efforts by many voluntary organizations responding to disaster. Member organizations provide more effective and less duplication in service by getting together before disasters strike. Once disasters occur, NVOAD or an affiliated state VOAD encourages members and other voluntary agencies to convene on site. This cooperative effort has proven to be the most effective way for a wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work together in a crisis.
