Resilience runs deep.
Why Your Support Matters
Communities around the world are facing increasingly severe disasters: wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and conflict. CORE is on the frontlines, delivering life-saving support in Sudan, Haiti, Ukraine, and beyond — and right here at home, in the wake of the Los Angeles fires.
With humanitarian needs at an all-time high, your support ensures CORE can continue meeting these challenges and helping communities build lasting resilience. Attacks on humanitarian workers and civilians are at a record high. Abrupt cuts to foreign aid have left frontline organizations like CORE with fewer resources to respond to growing, complex crises. Today, more than 300 million people are in urgent need of assistance.
When circumstances grow harder, our mission becomes even more urgent. CORE will continue to meet these challenges head-on — investing in local communities to help them build resilience from the inside out. But we're relying more than ever on our community of supporters to sustain this work.

When you run with CORE, every mile is more than a finish line. It's food, water, shelter, and long-term recovery for families in crisis. It's resilience for Los Angeles. It's solidarity with Haiti. It's hope for Sudan and Ukraine. It's a lifeline to communities on the edge of disaster.
Every dollar raised helps communities move from crisis toward recovery — and toward a future they can count on. Join Team CORE today.
About CORE
Founded in 2010 by Sean Penn and Ann Lee following the Haiti earthquake, CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) is a global humanitarian organization that empowers underserved communities in and beyond crisis. CORE's community-powered work is informed and fueled by local hands. When crisis strikes, we listen, we learn, and we act — quickly filling gaps, mobilizing resources, and developing long-term recovery solutions.
With a focus on equity, CORE delivers critical relief to the most vulnerable people, from the Los Angeles fires and hurricane-affected communities in North Carolina to conflict zones in Ukraine and Sudan, and beyond.
