CAAP’s Disaster Relief Fund
Our Disaster Relief Fund was created as a response to global humanitarian and environmental crises. This fund has supported a variety of international and domestic campaigns for disaster relief and recovery. Some of our larger campaigns have reacted to crises in Syria, Haiti, Lebanon, Gaza, and Japan, and not only focus on immediate relief but also aid with long-term recovery.
