Field Innovation Team

Headquartered in Heber City, UT, USA- FIT works with staff and volunteers who live all over the world. FIT is staffed by 5 personnel, who run the administration, fundraising, community resilience events, and crisis response. FIT also has numerous partnerships with agencies and organizations who donate their resources to support crisis response. Vol... unteers come from diverse backgrounds. Not everyone has experience aiding disasters, but FIT believes that there is a need and a space for the people making progressive changes in technology, design, and art and who want to help. We believe that a diversity of approaches and people produces the best solutions. How can I get involved with FIT? Volunteers can become Field Innovators or Field Contributors. Field Innovators are trained in the FIT crisis solution process and deploy with the team when possible. Field Contributors serve as innovation ambassadors throughout their community and reach out to FIT staff and Field Innovators when crises occur. Learn more by contacting us through our 'Contact Us' form located on the homepage of fieldinnovationteam.org. How is FIT funded? FIT is a 501(c)3 and uses donations, fundraising, including crowd funding, sponsorships, grants, and foundation support. How can I deploy to a disaster with FIT? Your ability to deploy with FIT largely depends on your availability and your fit with the programmatic focus of the deployment. After you have been added to FIT's volunteer deployment roster, you will receive notification of upcoming deployments. If you join us, FIT pays for your transportation and lodging for the duration of your activation. What if can't travel to a disaster with FIT - can I still help?Read More
