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)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
