Monetary Contributions Work Best

Cash can be used immediately. It is flexible, and it provides for culturally, nutritionally and environmentally beneficial support

Most important, cash allows disaster relief organizations to purchase exactly what is needed, when it is needed and to procure supplies near the affected area, cutting down on transportation time and cost.

Monetary contributions also support local economies and ensure that businesses can operate when relief supplies decrease.

By focusing on what works best when times are at their worst, CIDI makes you a force for good.

When Americans want to help those affected by disasters overseas, CIDI encourages them to stop, think and give cash.
