Quick answer: Emergency relief fund campaigns on LaunchGood have raised $97.6 million across 33,039 campaigns in the past two years, averaging 31% more per campaign than the platform-wide average, with 58.7% Zakat-verified. Lebanon, Sudan, and Syria show the highest average donation per campaign outside Palestine.
Emergency relief consistently outperforms average giving
Urgency drives real donor behavior, not just attention. Emergency relief campaigns average $4,722 per campaign, 31% above the $3,610 platform-wide average, and 58.7% are individually Zakat-verified, meaningfully higher than the platform's overall 33.3% Zakat-eligible rate. When something urgent happens, donors don't just show up, they show up ready to give more, and to give Zakat specifically.
Where the giving is strongest, region by region?
Looking beyond Palestine (which we cover in detail in its own dedicated breakdown), here's how average donation size breaks down by country for emergency relief specifically:
A few things worth noting in this table. Lebanon, Syria, and Sudan all average well above the platform-wide figure, even without the volume that Palestine or the UK see, meaning smaller campaign counts are still translating into serious per-campaign giving. The UK has the highest campaign count by far (4,359), but a notably lower average, largely reflecting smaller, community-level emergency response campaigns rather than large international crisis appeals.
What makes a disaster relief fund trustworthy?
"Donate to disaster relief" shouldn't mean choosing between speed and trust, if you're on a platform that's already done the verification work before the crisis hits, not scrambling to check credentials after headlines break. Every emergency relief campaign on LaunchGood goes through the same Trust & Safety review as any other campaign, and Zakat-eligible ones go through a separate verification process on top of that. That's the same infrastructure whether it's a slow-moving humanitarian crisis or a disaster relief fund that opened yesterday.
If you want the practical mechanics of that trust-check for yourself, we've broken down what to actually verify before donating in more detail.

Whether it's Lebanon, Sudan, Syria, or wherever the next crisis emerges, emergency relief funds on LaunchGood consistently draw real, above-average donor commitment, and every campaign is verified before it ever reaches you.
