Disaster Readiness, Relief and Recovery
FedEx accepts applications from organizations that bring relief to victims of emergencies or natural disasters. Specifically, we direct our funds toward the quick and efficient transport of aid, and disaster preparedness education initiatives.
FedEx provides relief and lifesaving aid to victims of disaster. We work with global nonprofit organizations to assist in relief, recovery and disaster-preparedness planning. When disaster strikes, FedEx is there to help. Fast, reliable access to vital supplies can make all the difference in the aftermath of a disaster. We apply our resources and networks to move relief supplies quickly to communities in need.
