Empowering disaster affected communities since 2017 through trust-based grants and support
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand the needs of their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. HarmonyAid puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
Performing rigorous due diligence on every
HarmonyAid performs rigorous due diligence on every organization in the HarmonyAid community in order to ensure they are performing charitable work in a transparent and accountable manner, and that they meet local requirements for registration with their local government.
We collect and review documentation for every organization, including its legal documents, financial records, program materials, and lists of senior staff and board members, in order to validate that the organization is running the project as described. We also evaluate the organization’s capacity to implement activities and communicate about its work, and we research the organization’s relationship with previous funders. Finally, we ensure that the organization is compliant with anti-terror guidelines and international guidelines for philanthropy.
Once they’ve been vetted and added to the HarmonyAid community, each organization is required to submit quarterly project reports, including activities, accomplishments, and results of the project to date. These reports are emailed to donors and publicly available on the project page so supporters can see how their donation is being used and what progress has been made.
We conduct a thorough due diligence renewal on all organizations every two years and make every effort to ensure each organization is personally visited by a HarmonyAid representative once every two years.
Beyond what’s required for participation in the HarmonyAid community, our nonprofit partners have the opportunity to share extra information about the effectiveness of their work.
Organizations can share information about how they listen to their stakeholders, test out new ideas, and improve their programs and services based on what they learn from data and feedback. Through GG Rewards, HarmonyAid ranks nonprofits as either Partners, Leaders, or Superstars based on their engagement with the community and their demonstrated commitment to effectiveness in this way. Organizations ranked near the top will be more visible on HarmonyAid’s platform and are more often recommended by HarmonyAid to donors and corporate partners.
