"All sectors of society-public, private, and social-share responsibility for helping communities thrive after a disaster,"
"Philanthropy plays a critical role in providing communities with resources to rebuild stronger, but it cannot-and should not-replace government and its essential responsibilities."
"President Trump is committed to rightsizing the federal government while empowering state and local governments by enabling them to better understand, plan for, and ultimately address the needs of their citizens,"
MacKenzie Scott and Yield Giving provided a $60 million gift to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), which aids recovery from natural disasters in underserved communities. Yield Giving has donated more than $19 billion to thousands of organizations. The donation follows Trump administration reductions to FEMA funding and the cancellation or suspension of federal disaster mitigation programs, shifting fiscal and operational responsibility to state and local governments. The administration ended the BRIC grant program and signaled potential further reductions to FEMA. CDP leadership emphasized that philanthropy is critical for rebuilding but cannot replace essential government responsibilities.
