NeedsList is a tech company powering faster, more sustainable humanitarian action. No stranger to crisis response, NeedsList has been developing and deploying software tools to aggregate needs and offers in real-time since 2016. Their solutions have been used by the government, nonprofit and business sectors in over 20 countries and across multiple crises, and COVID-19—while different in its scale and global reach—demands a similar response effort. Since the onset of COVID-19, NeedsList has pivoted to focus 100% on best ways to deploy our tools to support coordination of the pandemic response. We are currently partnering with organization across North America, and are rolling out a deployment of our software with partners in six African countries this month. In the past three years, NeedsList solutions have facilitated over $2M in resources to hundreds of nonprofits and have been used for everything from refugee aid workers in Greece and Uganda to wildfire responders in Sonoma County to supporting USAID’s response to Hurricane Dorian in The Bahamas.
