Texas Gov. Greg Abbott activated the entire Texas National Guard. </p><p>FEMA Administrator Brock Long estimated Monday that 30,000 people may need shelter, and some 450,000 may qualify for federal flood victim assistance. </p><p>As <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/28/546735184/what-were-hearing-in-texas-residents-discuss-harveys-floods">Harvey continues to dump rain</a> on the Gulf Coast and floodwaters rise, many organizations are doing vital work to help save lives and give comfort. </p><p>Here's a list of some of the organizations that are undertaking this work and how you can contribute to them. </p><p>Of course, NPR isn't endorsing or vouching for any of these groups. It's a good idea to do a bit of research on any charity before you donate to it. One place to start is <a href="https://www.charitynavigator.org/"><strong>Charity Navigator</strong></a>.<br /></p><h3><strong>General Relief</strong></h3> <p>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner established a Harvey relief fund at <a href="https://ghcf.org/hurricane-relief/"><strong>The Greater Houston Community Foundation</strong></a>. The organization <a href="http://ghcf.org/">connects</a> donors with a network of nonprofits and innovative solutions in the social sector. </p><p><a href="https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-harvey-relief-fund/"><strong>GlobalGiving</strong></a>, which calls itself the largest global crowdfunding community, has a goal of raising $2 million for its Harvey relief fund. Funds will be used first for immediate needs of food, water and shelter and then transition to long-term recovery efforts. </p><p><a href="https://www.unitedwayhouston.org/flood/flood-donation/"><strong>United Way of Greater Houston</strong></a> has launched a relief fund for storm-related needs and recovery. The organization says it already maintains a disaster relief fund but anticipates the needs of Harvey will far exceed those existing resources. </p><p><a href="https://disasterphilanthropy.networkforgood.com/"><strong>The Center for Disaster Philanthropy</strong></a><strong> </strong>has also launched a Hurricane Harvey relief fund. The organization <a href="http://disasterphilanthropy.org/cdp-fund/cdp-hurricane-harvey-recovery-fund/">says its strategy</a> emphasizes "investing well rather than investing quickly, addressing the greatest needs and gaps in funding that may be yet to emerge." </p><p><a href="https://donate.sbpusa.org/checkout/donation?eid=82630"><strong>SBP</strong></a>, based in New Orleans, got its start rebuilding in St.Bernard Parish after Hurricane Katrina. The organization provides advisory services to local leaders and nonprofits, and deploys Americorps members to do mucking, gutting, and rebuilding. The organization focuses on using efficient processes to speed recovery. </p><p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/hurricaneharvey"><strong>GoFundMe</strong></a>, the social fundraising site, has created a landing page that gathers the campaigns on its platform related to Harvey. </p><p><a href="http://helpsalvationarmy.org"><strong>The Salvation Army</strong></a> says it is providing food and water to first responders and preparing for massive feeding efforts for residents. </p><p><a href="https://missionaries.namb.net/projects/full/hurricane-harvey-response"><strong>Send Relief and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief</strong></a> says its teams began responding before Harvey made landfall and continues on-the-ground relief work. </p><p><a href="https://www.samaritanspurse.org/disaster/hurricane-harvey/"><strong>Samaritan's Purse</strong></a> is accepting donations as well as volunteers for Harvey disaster relief for the coming months.<br /></p><h3>Medical</h3> <p><a href="https://secure.directrelief.org/site/Donation2;jsessionid=00000000.app260b?df_id=2105&amp;mfc_pref=T&amp;2105.donation=form1&amp;NONCE_TOKEN=02F1DFF34373ADD60FF464D4A40202BF"><strong>Direct Relief</strong></a> is providing funding and emergency health kits to community health centers in Texas.
