Published eligible uses
What can the gift support?
Food
Emergency food after disasters, according to assessed need and local access.
Water and hygiene
Clean drinking water and hygiene kits where normal water and sanitation have been disrupted.
Temporary shelter
Shelter materials and warmth for displaced families; not permanent reconstruction.
Local delivery
Partner buying and distribution near affected communities, subject to access and capacity.
Needs and costs vary by household and incident. Suggested gifts are contributions rather than guaranteed quantities of meals, kits or shelter materials.
Why a standing emergency fund can help
Disasters do not follow a fundraising calendar. A standing fund allows trustees to assess needs and release available money without waiting for a new public campaign for every incident.
That does not guarantee immediate delivery. Cut roads, remote locations, local availability and partner capacity can all affect timing. Donors should read current reports rather than infer delivery from the existence of the fund.
Choosing between country and standing appeals
Use the Malaysia Floods Appeal when you specifically want the published Malaysia restriction. This standing fund covers emergency relief across Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia.
The source says its Humanitarian Appeal, Crisis Appeal and Disasters Emergency Relief use the same standing fund and restriction. Separate eye-surgery and cancer programmes exist for medical treatment.
Share the context, not only the link.
Read the emergency fund’s eligible uses, country coverage and reporting status. Sharing the scope helps prevent confusion about what donations fund.
