How Western Union Approaches Disaster Response

Asialee (Asia) Drews, Programs and Grantmaking, Western Union Foundation

 

Asia Drews oversees programs and grantmaking at the Western Union Foundation. Since July 2018, she has managed the Foundation’s disaster relief grantmaking portfolio and funded more than 30 global crises, including the Foundation’s 2020 COVID-19 $1 million plus global response.
