CIDI developed the message \u2018Cash is Best\u2019 to help people remember that monetary donations (cash, credit cards, and
online direct donations to nonprofit organizations) are the best and most effective way to support communities after
international disasters, like cyclones, earthquakes or droughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022<\/strong> Sending material goods overseas is extremely costly, inefficient, and slow. Plus, it\u2019s impossible to know what
supplies are needed at any given time because the needs on the ground are constantly changing after a disaster.
\u2022 Monetary donations can be used immediately by relief organizations to purchase exactly what is needed, when
it is needed. Monetary donations enable aid groups to purchase culturally and nutritionally appropriate provisions
close to the disaster site.
We need your help to create PSAs to educate prospective donors about why \u2018Cash is Best.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
