Flash floods across Spain have caused widespread devastation, leaving hundreds dead and many areas inaccessible to first responders. Your donation to the Spain Flood Relief Fund will help survivors with emergency aid and long-term support.
The flooding is the worst to happen in Spain for several decades. In many communities, a year's worth of rain fell in a single day. People are now in urgent need of shelter, food, clean water, and medical assistance. As they work to recover, the need for support is critical to help those affected rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
All donations to this fund will help flood survivors throughout affected communities in Spain. These efforts will be led by GlobalGiving's network of vetted partners. Initially, the fund will help meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. As needs evolve, the fund will transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted nonprofits.

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
