Weather-Proof Communities: A Fund for Resilience
Tax deductible
Join Us in Strengthening Communities Against Extreme Weather
We are a group of UNT students working on a project to support Texas Sustainable Cities, an initiative dedicated to helping communities prepare for and recover from extreme weather. Texas families are facing more frequent disasters, and too many lack the resources to protect their homes and loved ones.
Why This Matters
In 2022, over 40% of Americans living in high-risk disaster zones didn’t have access to basic emergency resources. Many families can’t afford the supplies needed to weather a storm, let alone recover from one. Texas Sustainable Cities is tackling this issue head-on by providing life-saving aid, storm-readiness workshops, and long-term recovery support.
Their mission is more than disaster preparedness, it’s about empowering communities to be stronger and more resilient in the face of climate challenges.
How Your Donation Makes an Impact
Every contribution directly supports families in disaster-prone areas:
• $15 – Provides a basic emergency kit (food, water, and first aid) for a family.
• $25 – Funds a storm-readiness workshop, teaching home protection and evacuation planning.
• $50 – Helps install flood barriers for households in high-risk areas.
• $75 – Supports mobile solar-powered charging stations to keep families connected during outages.
• $100 – Provides reinforced roofing materials to protect homes from hurricane-force winds.
• $500 – Establish a community resilience hub with emergency power, clean water, and aid supplies.
These efforts build hope, security, and a stronger future for Texas communities.
By donating today, you can help Texas Sustainable Cities provide critical resources to families in need. If you can’t contribute financially, sharing this campaign helps spread awareness and extend their reach.
This is a student-led initiative, and every bit of support brings Texas communities closer to resilience.
