Hurricane Helene left a path of devastation across multiple states, including Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia, killing hundreds and leaving millions in need of help. Your donation to the Hurricane Helene Relief Fund will provide immediate and long-term relief in affected communities.
Hurricane Helene landed as a Category 4 storm in Florida's Big Bend and went on to cause catastrophic damage across the Southeast. Millions of people were in Helene's widespread path, now trying to stay safe in shelters or facing weeks without power. People who survived Hurricane Helene described water rising to their chests and homes collapsing into the ocean as the storm surge reached up to 20 feet. Hundreds are still missing. Helene also caused significant flooding and destruction in Cuba.
All donations to this fund will help Hurricane Helene survivors in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, Cuba, and elsewhere. These efforts will be led by GlobalGiving's network of vetted partners. Initially, the fund will help meet survivors' immediate needs for food, fuel, clean water, hygiene products, and shelter. As needs evolve, the fund will transition to support longer-term recovery efforts run by local, vetted nonprofits.

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
