DISASTER RELIEF FUND

Israel-Hamas War Relief Grant

Our little corner of the world has come together to do what we do best when communities are in crisis… rally together and give! The Legacy Giving Circle has generously donated the first $25,000 towards the $50,000 needed to help Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) with their work in assisting Palestinian and Israeli families in need.

Please note, these efforts are as of 11/13/23 and are subject to change as the needs of those affected change, but Legacy Collective and GEM are committed to supporting those evacuating and in need of assistance equally from both Israel and Gaza.

GEM Bstrong has embarked on a mission to provide relief to families affected by the recent events in Israel and Gaza. In Israel, GEM Bstrong has partnered with SmartAID and in Palestine, GEM Bstrong has partnered with Anera to provide immediate relief. The Legacy funding will be split equally between the two groups.

Once the border to Egypt opens and refugees begin evacuating, GEM intends to use funding to assist refugees from both Israel and Gaza fleeing the war zone. The needs will either be immediate relief supplies such as food, tents, cots, etc or temporary relocation assistance. Depending on funding and capacity, GEM is prepared to offer relocation services. The average cost to relocate a family for 30 days is $5,333.

We are halfway to our goal and need YOUR help. Give and assist families in need today!

FAQ’s

1. How are our funds used for disaster relief efforts?

Glad you asked!

  • 5% Administration
  • 5% Pure Charity Donation Processing Fee
  • 90% Grants

2. Disaster Disbursement Policy

  • Unlike our Giving Circle Grant process, there are times when Legacy Collective raises funds for disaster relief efforts. In those circumstances, Legacy Collective chooses the nonprofits that the funds will benefit, we fully vet the organizations, and we disburse the funds as quickly as possible. In certain relief efforts, all funds will be paid immediately and in other instances, some of the funding will be held to disburse periodically throughout the recovery effort of the disaster. All funds raised under a disaster relief effort will be used solely for that effort.
  • Legacy will hold up to 2 disaster relief fundraisers per year with one focused domestically and one internationally.
  • We will focus on needs arising from natural disasters or war/civil unrest.
  • We will be intentional in supporting nonprofits through the disaster relief funds that focus on addressing systemic issues in the disaster relief zone whenever possible.
