<div>Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters in the US, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and displacing thousands of families. Too often we see people create fundraisers on the GoFundMe platform asking for help in the wake of destructive floods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe.org has launched this fund to provide direct and immediate support to those impacted by floods this year. Tax deductible donations will go to individuals and families impacted, and to the nonprofit organizations who are responding on the ground. Every dollar will go directly to the communities in need. Your support will help flood survivors begin to rebuild—stronger and together.

<div><strong>Current Need</strong>

<div>March 20, 2026 - The Hawaiʻi islands faced the worst flooding they had seen in 20 years following the Kona Low Storms. Families were n displaced, homes damaged, and access to basic necessities disrupted across impacted communities. Heavy rains overwhelmed infrastructure, leaving many residents without safe shelter, reliable transportation, or essential supplies. We raised over $1M and delivered about 1,000 grants directly to verified folks impacted. Read more about our impact in the updates below.
