The Vertex Foundation is a staunch supporter of Americares emergency responses, providing steady support through the AERP program and quick to offer additional help when emergencies arise. The Vertex Foundation’s first donation to Americares was in late 2018 in response to Hurricane Florence which struck the Carolinas in the US. Since then it has been a staunch supporter of a number of emergencies to which Americares has responded.
As a member of the Americares Emergency Response Partner (AERP) program, the Vertex Foundation helps Americares to maintain a constant state of readiness for emergencies, including pre-positioning relief supplies in disaster-prone countries, maintaining an international roster of on-call disaster response experts, supporting needs assessments and deploying emergency response teams to disaster zones. The Vertex Foundation is pro-active and quick to offer help, making them the perfect AERP donor.
