FLORIDA DISASTER FUND

Hurricane Ian Donors

The Volunteer Florida Foundation administers the Florida Disaster Fund, Florida’s private fund established to assist Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster.

Activation: The fund is activated based on the declaration of a disaster by the Governor and approval by the Foundation Board of Directors (or its Executive Committee) to begin a fundraising effort.

Use of Funds: During and after the collection process and as immediate and longer-term needs are identified, the Executive Director of the Foundation, in discussion with staff and executive committee of the board of directors, will evaluate how to distribute the funds to non-profit entities between the two types of available grants.

Paypal/Braintree, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express generously waived their fees for those making a donation for Hurricane Ian recovery. 100% of every donation was used to help Floridians recover.

The list below represents all donors who have given to the Fund for Hurricane Ian as of February 14, 2024. A special thank you to all the businesses, organizations and individuals who donated. You have been instrumental in getting Floridians back on their feet.
