Everest Effect
Turn a moment into a movement.
Project Description
HERE'S THE PROBLEM
Disasters have quadrupled in the last 20 years, impacting over 160 million people globally. Lack of coordinated communication, a broken supply chain and well-intentioned, but uninformed giving has created inefficiencies, waste and fraud.
Despite advancements in technology and more results-focused giving, people are still experiencing prolonged recovery and displacement, and in many cases still rebuilding while preparing for the next disaster.
THE EVEREST SOLUTION
Everest Effect was created to accelerate how people rebuild their lives after a disaster in a sustainable, transparent and impactful way.
Donors will be able to see what’s needed moments and even months following a disaster, and purchase items like diapers, water filters and camping equipment for people in need.

More and more brands recognize “doing good is good for business”, and are lending their expertise, products, platforms and services to support those in need.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
We’re raising money on IFW to enhance our platform before the next wildfire and hurricane season. To double your impact, a portion of campaign proceeds will go to our nonprofit partner, Waves for Water, who provides clean drinking water to communities all around the world.
THE EVEREST TEAM
Our team has worked for some of the top platform companies in the world, and understands how technology can be used to connect people, organizations and resources within a scalable ecosystem. We're using this experience to build a 21st Century Humanitarian Model that can be developed, shared and multiplied every time a disaster strikes.
