One year after Hurricane Katrina, a new study shows there is a short, two- to six-day time frame when people react to humanitarian crises by researching and donating to charities. Volunteer interest also rapidly rises and falls in the wake of disaster. That means your nonprofit needs to have updated program information, donation processing and volunteer matching before disaster strikes.
