The Foundation’s Purpose
The Private Sector Emergency Management Foundation exists to strengthen community resilience by supporting unmet needs before, during, and after disasters.
As a trusted conduit between donors and communities, the Foundation ensures that resources and assistance reach their intended recipients efficiently and transparently. When requests from community partners exceed the capacity of the Association network, the Foundation steps in to bridge the gap – coordinating support, facilitating donations, and addressing urgent and long-term needs.

The Vision
Guided by a vision of resilient and prepared communities, the Foundation champions tailored response, recovery, and preparedness initiatives that reflect the unique challenges each community faces.
