Job Description
DAP engages a dedicated community to advance policy research and advocacy, promote transparency, and encourage the public to participate in oversight, community-based organizing, and discussions about disaster preparedness and relief.
Dedicated citizen oversight is necessary to ensure resources dedicated to preparedness, relief, and recovery are effectively utilized, communities are sufficiently engaged and more resilient, and best practices and lessons learned are implemented so mistakes are not repeated.
Prior to the creation of the Disaster Accountability Project (DAP), there was no dedicated, independent oversight of the agencies and organizations responsible for these critical life-saving responsibilities.

Disaster Accountability Project (DAP) is seeking new Board members with a background in corporate philanthropy or CSR. This is a volunteer (unpaid) position with the potential to make a meaningful impact on humanitarian aid efforts across the world.
DAP is the only independent watchdog of global disaster relief and humanitarian aid. In 2021, only 1.2% of global funds donated reached local actors.
Our SmartResponse platform helps donors identify and directly support organizations operating locally when disasters strike.
Over *900* organizations from 70+ countries and 25+ U.S. states and territories have registered on SmartResponse.org.
In addition to improving effectiveness, accountability and transparency in disaster relief and humanitarian aid, DAP advances the localization objectives of the Grand Bargain, a primary output of the UN's World Humanitarian Summit.
Our Board is now focused on growth and scaling our organization’s reach and impact so we can improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of hundreds of millions of dollars of disaster relief and humanitarian aid.
If you would like to get involved in our mission-driven nonprofit organization as a key member of our leadership team, we’d love to meet you!
