$2.5 million in hurricane recovery grants Supporting recovery in Florida and Puerto Rico. June 2023

 

 

FOCUS ON     $2.5 million in hurricane recovery grants Supporting recovery in Florida and Puerto Rico   It’s hard to believe that the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season officially begins tomorrow. Even as we prepare for what this season may bring, we are still learning about gaps in recovery from last season’s storms.    In 2022, Hurricanes Ian and Nicole devastated parts of Florida and affected other states along the Atlantic coastline, while Hurricane Fiona exacerbated issues already affecting the fragile infrastructure in Puerto Rico.    To help affected communities, we're pleased to announce eight grants totaling nearly $2.5 million from the Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund. The grants support recovery from 2022 hurricanes and aim to build communities’ ability to withstand future storms.     Read about our grantee partners     TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE DISASTER GIVING     Disaster preparedness in Puerto Rico Last month, Austin Snowbarger, our learning and partnerships manager, and Sally Ray, our director of domestic funds, traveled to Puerto Rico to meet with grantee partners and learn from the people most affected by disasters about ongoing needs and the best ways to support recovery and preparedness. Austin reflects on why philanthropy must invest now to ensure communities have the resources to prepare for disasters and strengthen resilience. Read his post >>
