The CAF Resilience program pilot tested what resilience could mean for small charities across the United Kingdom, how resilience funding can be structured and the impact it can have. In this session, CAF will share key learnings from their three-year pilot program, and we will also be joined by the CEO of one of the small charities that benefited from CAFs investment in their capacity and resilience. The lessons from this pilot program hold important considerations for building an effective disaster relief program, which rely on the ability of local organizations to survive and thrive in the midst of a crisis. 10:45am- 11:00amETBreakouts & Networking#IGS2022|igsymposium.org9'
