Marginalized and vulnerable communities impacted by natural and man-made humanitarian disasters worldwide.
What sets CORE apart is our community-powered approach. Our efforts are informed and fueled by local hands. We listen, we learn and then we act – because local communities know best what their needs are and how to fill them. True to our ethos, we prioritize cash and voucher assistance (CVA) to ensure people living through a disaster have the freedom and flexibility to meet their unique needs, on their own terms.

With our generous supporters and partners, we’ve delivered immediate response and long-term recovery solutions to marginalized populations in 17 countries.
What makes us Unique.
WE LISTEN, WE LEARN,
AND THEN WE ACT.
CORE responds quicky and nimbly to empower underserved communities in and beyond crisis.
We tap into community knowledge through key partnerships to understand how to meet each local community’s unique and evolving needs. Our efforts are powered by the communities we serve and focus on addressing holistic needs beyond the crisis at hand.
One way we empower disaster-stricken communities is through cash and voucher assistance. For people who have lost everything – like those impacted by the Los Angeles fires – cash assistance empowers them to purchase what they need, when they need it. Whether it’s buying gas, groceries, or new school supplies, they have the dignity of choice. After working in disaster areas around the world, CORE knows firsthand that this service is the most effective way to get people back on their feet after crisis.
