ABOUT US REBUILD.US, an initiative of the Amalgamated Foundation, is a rapid response fundraising initiative that aims to direct millions of dollars to the most effective organizations on the ground in areas hit by climate change disasters. The underlying premise behind REBUILD.US is that billions of dollars are channeled to charity in post disaster moments – mainly to large national and global charities. These funds are largely limited to the support of immediate response and relief periods, and don’t flow through local organizations that work in the community year-round and know how to get help to where it's most needed, fast. The funds are also not used to address systemic problems that exacerbate the climate disasters such as housing and economic insecurity, fossil fuel, extractive land and water use, unjust immigration system, voter suppression etc. REBUILD’s model allows trusted, local leaders and organizations to immediately help people in need while also working toward the necessary long term systemic solutions to transform our future.
