infoZine - SBA May Help Churches, Nonprofits, Associations - Kansas City, Missouri News: "The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Individuals and Households program provides disaster assistance grants to individuals, while FEMA's Public Assistance program reimburses local and state government agencies and certain private nonprofit organizations performing government type services for repairs to eligible disaster-damaged infrastructure.
The best option for most churches, nonprofit organizations and homeowner associations to rebuild may be through low-interest disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)."

Japan OKs more disaster relief money | euronews, economy
Japan OKs more disaster relief money | euronews, economy: "Japan’s cabinet has approved an additional 17.4 billion euros for disaster relief following the March earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster."
Non-profit organisations in Japan: Charity at home | The Economist
Non-profit organisations in Japan: Charity at home | The Economist: "The disaster brought about a surge of volunteerism in Japan, as did the Kobe earthquake in 1995. Around 480,000 volunteers from non-profit organisations (NPOs as they are known) streamed into the Tohoku region. Yet the figure might have been higher had the government not advised people to keep away and made life hard for those relief organisations that showed up anyway.
Japan has long been uneasy about non-profit organisations. It lacks a tradition of private philanthropy. Support for the needy is often expected to come from the family. Officials tend to regard NPOs as meddlesome amateurs."
