<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>
<div><strong>Current Need</strong>
</div>
<div>August 2026 - Severe flooding across the midwest caused widespread devastation and blackouts. The flood relief fund was activated to help, GoFundMe donated $20K, and over 30 grants were delivered to those personally impacted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This Flood Relief Fund is now accepting donations to provide direct support to individuals and families impacted by severe flooding across the Midwest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<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.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who we help</strong>
</div>
<div>We deliver cash grants directly to those impacted by floods in the United States, including all states and territories. We grant to verified individuals who qualify and are fundraising for themselves or on behalf of someone else. We may also provide grants to fundraisers benefiting small businesses and community relief efforts, and to vetted nonprofits coordinating long-term recovery. Grants are unrestricted, providing dignity and autonomy for grantees to meet their personal urgent relief needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why donate to this fund?</strong>
</div>
<div>We provide quick support (within hours and days) to individuals and communities who are directly impacted by a flood, supporting as many people as we can. Donations to this fund are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. We’ll send you a receipt upon donation completion.
</div>
<div><br />
