Fritz Institute is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with governments, corporations, and other nonprofit organizations around the world to innovate solutions and facilitate the adoption of best practices for rapid and effective disaster response and recovery. Fritz Institute was founded in 2001 by Mr. Lynn Fritz and Dr. Anisya Thomas Fritz, social entrepreneurs and philanthropists who recognized that effective front-line humanitarian operations must be supported by strong operations capabilities: effective processes, appropriate use of enabling technologies, well-trained logistics personnel, objective performance metrics, and institutionalized learning across the humanitarian sector.
