2018 High School Senior Scholarship Winner: ‘I’m so surprised and grateful!’

“To the population of Toronto, April 23, 2018 was the first day spring. We had spent the week previous recovering from an unexpected ice storm. In the calm of that day, a van mounted the curb and drove through a block of pedestrians along Yonge Street. The van stopped a few metres from my house and in its wake, it left 10 dead and another 16 injured.”

So wrote Megan Niu, winner of the 2018 DRI Foundation $5,000 college scholarship for a graduating high school senior.

What We Do

The DRI Foundation focuses on sustainable resilience activities over immediate relief with the goal of empowering communities to help themselves. We pursue our vision of resilient communities worldwide by promoting disaster risk reduction through partnership and education and aiding recovery efforts through fundraising and volunteerism.

Veterans Outreach Program

Disaster Recovery International (DRI) Foundation is committed to helping our veterans succeed. To do our part, the Foundation has created a Veterans Outreach Program (VOP) to help our Veterans realize their dreams and help both themselves and their respective organizations achieve great success as they transition into the professions of emergency response, crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery.

Women in Business Continuity Management

The DRI Foundation’s Women in Business Continuity Management (WBCM) community provides female business continuity, crisis management and disaster recovery professionals with learning and networking opportunities. It also has an equal and much deeper purpose – a forum for women supporting women!

Volunteerism
