How to help: Hurricane Helene

Fidelity Charitable

Hurricane Helene devastated the southeastern U.S. after making landfall in Florida, leaving many without power or basic needs, and recovery is expected to take years. If New Capital can assist you with research or grant recommendations, please let us know.

On September 26, Hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida’s Gulf Coast as a Category 4 storm. Moving quickly northward, Helene unleashed massive destruction across much of the southeastern U.S. and southern Appalachia. These areas are not equipped for hurricane preparedness or response, making the impact all the more devastating. Historic winds and flooding have left many stranded without power, means of communication, and unable to take care of their basic needs. As waters recede and rescue efforts continue, death tolls are expected to rise. Federal major disaster declarations have been made for Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Immediate needs across all impacted areas include shelter, food and water, emergency supplies, debris removal, and the rebuilding of damaged homes and infrastructure. Full recovery will take many years.

Fidelity Charitable collaborates with the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to identify organizations that are responding in times of crisis. The following organizations are highlighted because they can activate quickly, have the ability to incorporate a large influx of donations, and have an established record in disaster response.

We’ve prioritized funds and responding organizations currently operating in the impacted areas.
