The Resource Foundation

The Disaster Response Fund

An initiative with U.N. World Food Programme (WFP).

When disaster strikes, every hour counts.
Through the partnership with the WFP, the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger, The Resource Foundation (TRF) channels US donor support directly to urgent relief operations across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

WFP’s unmatched reach, logistics capacity, and on-the-ground expertise enable swift delivery of food, cash assistance, and life-saving support to millions affected by conflict, climate shocks, and other emergencies.

A Region Under Pressure

Latin America and the Caribbean is the world’s second most climate-vulnerable region, facing increasingly severe hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires. These shocks destroy crops, disrupt markets, displace families, and strain already fragile food systems, making fast, coordinated disaster response more urgent than ever.

In 2025, WFP plans to assist over 10 million people in LAC through emergency food assistance, cash transfers, and programs that strengthen resilience and recovery.

Why Choose WFP

  • Global leader: Nobel Peace Prize laureate (2020) and the UN’s frontline agency against hunger.
  • Scale & speed: Operating in 123 countries and territories worldwide; in LAC alone, reaching 10 million people annually.
  • Comprehensive response: From rapid food distribution and cash-based transfers to complex logistics operations, early recovery projects, and support for national social protection systems.
  • Strong government partnerships: Integrating food assistance with resilience-building programs and long-term solutions for vulnerable communities.

Give today! Make an immediate impact.

Your contribution, made through the Disaster Response Fund at TRF, is US tax-deductible, and will be transferred directly to WFP’s top-priority emergency operations in LAC. Together, we can deliver not just relief, but hope, stability, and a path to recovery.
