Emergency Challenge Funds
Challenge Funds can be easily adapted to raise funds for emergency appeals, due to the urgency that they create. The most recent of these emergency funds was for the 2011 East Africa drought, which saw Reed Foundation join with other philanthropists to double donations to 13 aid agencies. The appeal raised £175,000.

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or challenge:
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Our challenge as parents is to be patient enough to allow our children to take ten minutes to do something that would take us two seconds. We need to allow our children to develop what I call their “struggle muscle.” This is developed the same way any other muscle develops, through regular exercise.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
