What All Hands and Hearts does

All Hands & Hearts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit disaster relief organization founded in 2004 through the merger (2017) of Happy Hearts Fund and All Hands Volunteers. The organization mobilizes volunteers to deliver immediate disaster response and long-term community recovery in regions affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises, operating across 32 countries with offices in the United States (Mattapoisett, MA headquarters and Washington, DC), the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada. As of 2026 it reports having supported 276,000+ homes, rebuilt 380+ schools, returned 125,000+ children to classrooms, mobilized 71,000+ volunteers from 150+ nationalities contributing 608,000+ days, and directly impacted 1.5M+ lives.

Its core programs are organized into three service pillars: Emergency Response (food/water distribution, temporary housing, debris removal, muck-and-gut operations, mental health support), Recovery & Resilience (disaster-resilient home reconstruction, small business recovery, Female Mason Training, Build Back Safer community trainings), and Education (school reconstruction, sustainable classrooms, WASH facilities, playgrounds). Notable technical and operational methodologies include Cement Bamboo Frame Technology for typhoon-resilient school construction in the Philippines, Starlink connectivity kits for field communications, and the Invincibility Train Cars initiative in partnership with Ukrainian Railways. Active programs as of 2026 span Venezuela earthquake relief, Gaza humanitarian aid, Ukraine crisis relief, Northern Israel child trauma support, Philippines school rebuilds, Hurricane Melissa Jamaica recovery, and U.S. domestic hurricane and flood response.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations: individual one-time and monthly gifts (The Builders program), legacy/estate planned giving, corporate and foundation partnerships, cryptocurrency donations via The Giving Block, donor-advised fund transfers, and JustGiving UK with Gift Aid. All programs are provided at no cost to beneficiaries; volunteers receive free accommodation and meals in exchange for labor. The organization reports 94% of every dollar going directly to programs and holds a 4-star Charity Navigator rating alongside CharityWatch and Candid recognition. Leadership is anchored by CEO Nate Mook, CFO Teddy Kassabian, COO Mike Ball, and co-founder Petra Nemcova (Board Vice-Chair), supported by a board with representation from Guidepost Growth Equity, Marex, Deloitte, Gartner, EY, and capital markets.

Direct peers

• Team Rubicon: Veteran-led disaster response nonprofit that mobilizes volunteer labor for debris removal, home repair, and recovery after hurricanes, floods, and wildfires in the US and internationally. Closely comparable to All Hands & Hearts in its volunteer-powered disaster response model and emphasis on hands-on rebuilding work.
• World Central Kitchen: Disaster-focused nonprofit providing hot meals and food relief in the wake of hurricanes, earthquakes, and conflict, including active operations in Ukraine, Gaza, and Caribbean hurricane zones. Directly comparable to AH&H on rapid-response field deployment, volunteer-driven model, and current active operations in overlapping geographies.
• Samaritan's Purse: Faith-based humanitarian organization that deploys volunteers to disaster zones for debris removal, home reconstruction, and emergency shelter. Comparable to All Hands & Hearts on volunteer-driven disaster recovery with a strong emphasis on physical rebuilding and family/home reconstruction.
• ShelterBox: International disaster relief nonprofit that provides emergency shelter and essential household items to families displaced by disaster and conflict. Closely comparable to AH&H's emergency shelter and housing reconstruction work and overlaps on active response geographies.
• Direct Relief: Humanitarian medical aid organization that delivers medicines, supplies, and equipment to health providers in disaster and conflict zones, including active Gaza operations alongside AH&H. Comparable on the medical/material supply side of disaster response and on rapid deployment to active crises.

Broad incumbents

• Habitat for Humanity: Large-scale volunteer-driven homebuilding nonprofit operating globally with a strong disaster-recovery arm (Habitat for Humanity Disaster Response). Comparable on the volunteer-powered home reconstruction model, though broader and more established than AH&H, with a much larger donor and affiliate network.
• American Red Cross: The largest US-based disaster response organization, providing shelter, food, supplies, and recovery support across hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, and floods. Comparable on the full disaster-relief lifecycle (emergency response through recovery) but at a far larger scale and broader scope than AH&H.
• Mercy Corps: Large international humanitarian NGO operating in more than 40 countries with programs spanning emergency response, recovery, and longer-term development. Comparable on multi-year recovery and resilience programming, though Mercy Corps is significantly larger and includes substantial economic-development and governance work beyond AH&H's scope.
• International Medical Corps: Global humanitarian organization delivering emergency relief, health care, and recovery services in conflict and disaster settings. Comparable on active deployment in humanitarian crisis regions (Gaza, Ukraine-adjacent) and on integrated emergency-through-recovery programming, though with a stronger clinical-health orientation.

Emerging players

• IsraAID: Israel-based humanitarian NGO providing emergency relief and long-term recovery in disaster and conflict zones worldwide, with overlap to AH&H on school reconstruction, community rebuilding, and active response in Israel-adjacent contexts. Comparable on the integrated emergency-plus-recovery model with a smaller organizational footprint.
