But while any financial aid is beneficial to and appreciated by responders and impacted communities, lengthy grant approvals, short-term funding, and rigid spending restrictions can unintentionally hinder responders instead of helping them.\nWe invited Amy Strecker, President of Duke Energy Foundation, to discuss how corporate foundations can best serve impacted communities after a disaster. Duke Energy Foundation is a leader in disaster response, prioritizing rapid aid, sustained recovery, and employee engagement. By fostering strong partnerships with local organizations and prioritizing both immediate relief and long-term rebuilding, Duke Energy Foundation ensures that communities are not just recovering—but emerging stronger and more resilient.\nDisasters test the strength of communities, but they also reveal the power of collective action. Duke Energy Foundation’s approach demonstrates that when businesses step up with urgency, flexibility, and a long-term vision, they don’t just help communities rebuild—they help them thrive.\nListen for key insights on:\nGrantmaking strategies for disaster response\nBarriers a grant can create to a nonprofit organization and how to avoid creating them\nMobilizing employees—regardless of their role—in disasters\nBuilding strong partnerships before disaster strikes\nResources + Links:\nAmy Strecker’s LinkedIn\nDuke Energy Foundation\nDuke Energy Foundation commits $1 million to support communities impacted by Hurricane Helene\nDuke Energy Line Worker Training","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8qgkWD8qpw3nztlje3wOB0Xuh6ozp_u-r5gRoTC4yrI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMzMTkzLzE2NjA0/MjAwMTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
