Nongovernmental organizations are leading relief efforts in Lebanon



As authorities are overwhelmed, volunteers and nonprofit organizations are helping to clean up the city and distribute aid to survivors. Humanitarian organizations of all sorts are gearing up with their fundraising as well.



According to Google Trends, worldwide keyword searches like «donations to Lebanon» and «aid for Lebanon» have been risen 10 to 20 fold in the days following the explosion. Among the trending Google searches is the nonprofit «ImpactLebanon» that was endorsed by George und Amal Clooney.



Small initiatives such as ImpactLebanon can have a similar impact in fundraising if they are positioned well in the digital universe. This podcast explores the reasons.
