Emergency Assistance Foundation
Doug Stockham, Co-Founder and President
Doug Stockham co-founded Emergency Assistance Foundation (EAF) – a 501(c)(3) public non-profit – in 2011 to help companies take care of their team members in need. More than a decade later, EAF administers over 350 disaster and hardship relief funds in partnership with well-known sponsoring organizations on a global scale. As a low-cost, third-party administrator, EAF independently administers all fund activities —including accepting donations, objectively reviewing grant applications, and awarding and distributing grants — while also maintaining legal and regulatory compliance. In the last three years combined, EAF awarded over $205 million in financial assistance to more than 295,000 individuals and families in need around the world.
Bringing his entrepreneurial spirit to EAF, Doug created an organization that remains agile and adaptable by harnessing technology, developing scalable platforms and procedures, and constantly evaluating and improving processes. He has positioned EAF to successfully respond to large scale disasters – including devastating hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in 2017, the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and today’s ongoing conflict in Ukraine – ensuring that financial assistance reaches those in need no matter the location or obstacle.
Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Doug earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Business Administration degree in finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
