Matching community resources with people in crisis.
MatchWell Communities helps disaster-affected communities quickly identify immediate needs, connect available resources, and coordinate crisis relief for individuals and families during the critical first five weeks.
Turn many helping hands into one coordinated response.
MatchWell Communities is more than a disaster-relief fund. We help create the temporary coordination system that allows existing community resources to work together—reducing duplication, identifying gaps, and moving help where it is needed most.
Identify Needs
Gather and prioritize urgent requests from affected individuals and families.
Map Resources
Connect nonprofits, churches, businesses, government agencies, crisis groups, volunteers, and local efforts.
Match Help
Coordinate available assistance with identified needs so resources are distributed efficiently.
Bridge Recovery
Help households move from immediate crisis relief toward organizations and programs that provide longer-term support.
Immediate relief for individuals and families affected by the July 27 Menasha tornado.
MatchWell Communities is accepting financial donations through our Tabitha Fund to provide immediate crisis relief to individuals and families affected by the tornado that struck Menasha, Wisconsin on July 27, 2026.
MatchWell Communities intends for 100% of donations received through this relief effort to be distributed as immediate assistance to people directly affected by the Menasha tornado.
The Tabitha Fund supports MatchWell's Day 1–5 week model: identifying urgent needs and moving relief quickly while longer-term recovery resources are being established.
Funds are used to respond to verified immediate needs of affected households and to help close gaps that may not be met by other relief resources.

Our Mission
MatchWell Communities exists to help communities respond quickly and compassionately when disaster strikes. We create customized Day 1–5 week crisis-response systems that connect community resources, established organizations, local government agencies, crisis-relief groups, businesses, individual community efforts, and trusted volunteer leaders. We identify immediate needs, match them with available resources, and coordinate efficient relief for affected individuals and families.
Our Vision
We envision a nation where no individual or family facing the immediate aftermath of a disaster has to navigate a confusing system alone or wait unnecessarily for help. Our vision is for communities to rapidly organize their resources, identify unmet needs, and deliver meaningful crisis relief through a flexible, coordinated, community-centered response.
A practical system built for the first critical weeks.
Each response is adapted to the type, size, location, and needs of the affected community while following clear principles of speed, coordination, accountability, and dignity.
When crisis happens, we match help with need.
