WASHINGTON, June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP), a nonprofit organization that mobilizes philanthropy to support long-term recovery from disasters, today announced a $500,000 grant from Bohemian Foundation. The grant will support CDP's efforts to galvanize philanthropic support so disaster-affected communities in the U.S. and abroad can rebuild and recover stronger.
"Tens of thousands across the country are picking up the pieces from the loss and destruction caused by severe storms and extreme weather while humanitarian crises persist around the world," said Patricia McIlreavy, CDP's president and CEO. "We know that communities need critical resources and agency in decision-making as they navigate recovery. Through grantmaking, broad-scale education and partnership, we are rallying the philanthropic community around our vision of a world where all people can thrive. We are grateful to Bohemian Foundation for sharing this vision and for its history of generous support to CDP to help make this world a reality."
