Rapid Response Network Members

In times of confusion, when lives are at stake, the following corporations have committed to work together to get help to those who need it most. As a member of the Rapid Response Network, each partner plays a key role in line with their particular capacity. Thanks to their generous support, we have been able to reduce our costs while getting more help to survivors of the terrible disasters as they have happened around the world


CTVglobemedia has been an active supporter of the HUMANITARIAN COALITION since 2008.  In times of large scale international crises, CTV and its various properties have supported relief efforts by broadcasting TV and radio spots for the HUMANITARIAN COALITION free of charge, along with online banners directing Canadians to our website.  In this way, communications materials have been shared through the Business News Network, the Comedy Channel, MuchMusic, CP24, CTV and other locations.  This generous support has been offered for the Burma Cyclone Appeal (2008), the Asia-Pacific Disasters (2009), the Haiti Earthquake (2010), the Pakistan Floods (2010) and again for the Japan Earthquake in 2011.  Through this support, Canadians learned more about these important crises and how they can help.

The members of the HUMANITARIAN COALITION are excited to welcome Shaw Media as the newest media partner in our Rapid Response Network. Shaw Media operates Global Television, along with 18 of the country’s most popular specialty channels and more than 20 online properties. Through their support, Shaw Media is helping to create a unified campaign that makes it simple for Canadians to support people around the world who need our help urgently.



Ebay Canada has generously donated banners on its website to the HUMANITARIAN COALITION, helping Canadians to learn much more about important disasters, the humanitarian response and how Canadians can donate to bring more help to those affected.  After first supporting the Haiti Earthquake Appeal in winter 2010 and the Pakistan floods later the same year, ebay has again offered its generous support for the Japan Earthquake Appeal.  In addition, associated company PayPal has worked quickly to ensure Canadians can donate to the HUMANITARIAN COALITION through their online transaction system.
