Heart365 - Who we helpEmergency - Earthquake

Venezuela, we are with you

There are two verified ways to help after the Venezuela earthquake: find a loved one on the citizen registries, and give through organizations vetted by the BBB and Charity Navigator. A double quake on June 24, 2026 (M7.2 and M7.5) struck the northern coast, hitting La Guaira and Caracas hardest; many families are still searching, and the recovery is far from over.

Why giving money helps more

faster cash can reach families than traditional aid

With roads damaged and families displaced, money is the aid that turns into what is needed fastest: food, water, medicine, temporary shelter. Sending goods, however well meant, tends to be slower and can clog an already strained supply chain. That is why the organizations on this page prioritize cash gifts.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I search for a missing loved one in Venezuela?

On the citizen registries Venezuela Te Busca and Desaparecidos Terremoto Venezuela you can report a person or flag one as found. They are search tools, not donation sites; always verify the information before sharing it.

Which organization can I give to safely?

Vetted channels: GlobalGiving, Direct Relief and GiveDirectly (cash straight to families), all rated by the BBB or Charity Navigator, and the Red Cross through the IFRC. Every gift is made on the organization's own secure site.

Is it better to give money or send goods?

Almost always money. It buys exactly what is needed in the moment and arrives faster; cash can reach families 6 to 20 times faster than traditional aid (GiveDirectly, 2026).

Can I donate from outside Venezuela?

Yes. The organizations on this page accept international donations by card and other methods; in the United States they are usually tax-deductible.

How do I avoid a donation scam?

Use only verified channels, be wary of anyone who only takes crypto or gift cards, do not confuse a missing-person registry with a fundraiser, and check the site's domain before you give.

Give smart

Hundreds of fake "help Venezuela" domains popped up after the quake. Stick to verified channels.
Finding people and giving money are two different things. Do not treat a missing-person registry like a fundraiser.
If someone will only take crypto, gift cards, or a transfer straight to a person, walk away.
