GiveDirectly is delivering cash to low-income families in the hardest-hit areas of Los Angeles. This emergency cash will help cover their immediate needs, including:
- 🍛 Essentials like food, medicine, and diapers
- 🏨 Shelter and hotel stays while evacuated
- 💳 Bills for their phone, healthcare, and utilities
Yet there are nearly 700 million people living in extreme poverty who also need urgent support. GiveDirectly's flagship Cash for Poverty Relief program delivers life-changing funds to families in sub-Saharan Africa, empowering them to meet their needs and shape their futures.
Why Cash?
Why Cash?
500+ rigorous academic studies show just how effective cash can be across diverse outcomes like:
- 📈 Boosting local economies by 2.5X for every cash transfer
- 👶 Reducing mortality rates for mothers and babies by 46-70%
- 🍛 Improving families’ food security and nutrition (even more than a nutrition program)
- ⏰ Creating lasting financial gains, even 12 years later
(If for any reason GiveDirectly is unable to deliver the emergency response portion of your donations to survivors in Los Angeles, donations will be delivered to other Americans in need or survivors of the next global emergency.)
