When disaster strikes, our instinctive response is to make things
better, not only as individuals but also as groups, organisations,
communities and major institutions within society. With increasing
climate-related disasters and the potential for future global
pandemics, philanthropy will continue to play an essential role.
Yet our knowledge of how philanthropic responses to disasters are
motivated, organised and received is fragmented. This book is a
step toward curating our existing knowledge in the emerging field
of 'disaster philanthropy' and to building a robust base for future
research, practice and public policy. The authors highlight
unknowns and ambiguities, extensions and unexplored spaces, and
challenges and paradoxes. Above all, they recognise that
philanthropic responses to disasters are complex, conditional and
subject to change.
