Philanthropy's Response to Texas Floods

Resources to Guide Philanthropic Response

Overview

Extreme rainfall in central Texas led to unprecedented, catastrophic flooding. At least 90 people have died and rescuers are still working to find dozens of missing people. Flash flood warnings are still in effect for parts of central Texas and a Major Disaster Declaration has been announced. 

As updates about the impact of this flood are known and opportunities to support long-term recovery become available, this page will be regularly updated with more resources and information.
