In response to the powerful earthquake in Nepal on April 25, Cloudera Cares has established a fund to help five non-profits. Through a single tax deductible donation, you can help multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. Each charity was pre-vetted to ensure that donations will have the highest impact possible for those in Nepal. Our approach to selecting non-profits was to collaborate with Cloudera employees who have family in Nepal and paired their suggestions with research to ensure that your donations are in good hands with these organizations. We have selected charities that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts, medical assistance, and providing access to clean water, food and shelter.

Want to make the most out of your donations? These are organizations recommended by givewell.org and/or thelifeyoucansave.org

Charities that enable people in extreme poverty to improve their quality of life. Focus areas emphasize promoting economic self-sufficiency and empowering community leaders for compounding impact, and going beyond saving lives to reducing concrete measures of acute suffering. Charities selected had low overhead and high transparency in their activities with high effectiveness-per-dollar as determined by watchdogs such as Giving What We Can and GiveWell, and on the ground as opposed to policy or research and development work.
