Crisis and Disaster Response

When victims of war, poverty, disasters, disease, and famine cry out for help, Samaritan’s Purse is often the first to answer. We specialize in meeting critical needs in the world's most troubled regions, often working through ministry partners already on the scene of a crisis. In the U.S., we quickly mobilize staff and volunteers to provide emergency aid when hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms strike.

Samaritan’s Purse is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity. All gifts are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that Samaritan’s Purse has complete control over the use of all donated funds. Our Board-approved policy is that all gifts designated for a specific project be applied to that project, with up to 10 percent used for administrative and fundraising expenses. Occasionally we receive more contributions for a given project than can be wisely applied to that project. When that happens, we use these funds to meet a similar pressing need. It is our policy to meet the needs God lays before us, so that Christ is lifted up and the Gospel advanced.
