Over the Independence Day holiday weekend, severe and deadly flooding swept through Central Texas, turning a time usually marked by celebration into one of devastation.
Community foundations in the impacted areas have established relief funds to aid those most in need. You can help by using your donor-advised fund to support flood relief efforts.
Central Texas Community Foundation WILCO CARES Flood Relief Fund
Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund
San Angelo Area Foundation’s San Angelo Disaster Relief Fund
Many other organizations in Texas are in need of help. If you’d like assistance identifying specific charities providing support to Central Texas, our philanthropic advisors can suggest organizations based on needs or interests.
During times of disaster, philanthropists should be wary of scams. Grants made from charitable funds at Greater Horizons are always reviewed to ensure that charities receiving donations are in good standing with the IRS. So you can rest assured that donations from your donor-advised fund will go to 501(c)(3) public charities that are working to provide immediate and long-term assistance.
