The Tsunami Learning Project
Lessons for Grantmakers in Natural Disaster Response

The Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami of December 2004 was the deadliest natural disaster in recorded history, with twelve countries directly affected and over 225,000 people dead or missing.

Even for the most experienced of grantmakers, the enormous scope of this catastrophe posed an array of decision-making challenges. Where could financial resources be placed most effectively? What kinds of strategies would likely have the quickest and most valuable impact? What criteria should be used to evaluate potential grantees in this complex and unprecedented situation?

With the Tsunami Learning Project, Grantmakers Without Borders sought to find answers to these and other questions, offering new tools for grantmakers when responding to natural disasters.
