We are a global humanitarian organization that delivers immediate response and long-term recovery solutions to underserved communities across the globe. CORE responds quicky and nimbly to empower underserved communities in and beyond crisis. We tap into community knowledge through key partnerships to understand how to meet each local community’s unique and evolving needs. Our efforts are powered by the communities we serve and focus on addressing holistic needs beyond the crisis at hand. Founded by Sean Penn and Ann Lee, CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) was initially established as J/P HRO in response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Since then, CORE has scaled exponentially as a global humanitarian organization working to meet the growing needs of vulnerable communities worldwide. We’ve worked on five continents responding to natural disasters, conflict, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, climate change, and public health emergencies. Powered by local staff, CORE adapts our programs to the dynamic needs of communities as they evolve in and beyond crises.
