Disaster Relief Resources For Nonprofits

 

If your organization was affected by the Nashville tornadoes, CNM is here to support you. Here are a few tips to help you navigate the recovery process and recruit volunteers to assist with your needs.
  1. If your organization has a need for volunteers, either an ongoing need or at a specific time and date, register your project with Hands On Nashville. Please include #nashvilletornado in the title of your project so it can be searched easily.
  2. Keep a record of all volunteers during your recovery efforts. You can download a sample volunteer waiver and sign-in sheet here. Every volunteer counts in disaster recovery. In the event that this disaster is federally declared, our city will need to report out on the tremendous volunteer response we have received in order to access federal recovery dollars.
  3. Does your nonprofit need resources other than volunteers? Explore available resources on Hands On Nashville’s blog.
