Challenge

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Siesta Key, Florida, as a strong Category 3 storm. It prompted the largest evacuation in the Florida region since Hurricane Irma in 2017. Millions of people were in Milton's path, and now without power and dealing with historic rainfall and flooding. Communities affected by Milton need support, including access to shelter, food, water, and clothing. Many of those impacted are still reeling from Hurricane Helene, which hit some of the same areas as Milton.

Solution

All donations to this fund will help Hurricane Milton survivors throughout Florida and affected areas of the Southeast. 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.

How Your Donation Will Be Used

When you donate to GlobalGiving's Hurricane Milton Relief Fund, your donation will be used to:

  • Provide food, water, and emergency medical supplies to people and animals
  • Support temporary relief and emergency supplies for displaced families
  • Provide support to frontline workers
  • Meet other needs that emerge

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

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.
