Hurricane Helene & Milton

Helping Those In Need

At Greater Houston Community Foundation, we extend our heartfelt thoughts to the communities grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Milton. We know all too well the uncertainty and fear that comes with such natural disasters, and we stand in solidarity with those affected.

The Foundation has prepared a list of community foundations and other national and local organizations that have established relief efforts. Although not an exhaustive list, we hope you will consider utilizing your Donor Advised Fund at the Foundation or contribute directly to provide support. If you are a Foundation fundholder and have questions, please reach out to [email protected].
