The President signed a federal disaster declaration for coastal communities. </p>
<p>We are compiling a list of responses, news items, resources and programming for philanthropy in response to the destruction being left by Hurricane Harvey. Please send additional suggestions to <a href="mailto:info@unitedphilforum.org">info@unitedphilforum.org</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.philanthropysouthwest.org/news/texas-hurricane-relief-efforts" target="_blank">Philanthropy Southwest Texas Hurricane Relief Efforts</a><br />
One of our members located in Texas has compiled a list of Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.unitedphilforum.org/sites/default/files/Southern%20HIV%20Impact%20Fund%20Card.pdf">Southern HIV Impact Fund</a><br />
This Fund of Funders Concerned About AIDS and administered by AIDS United incorporates HIV into a broader, integrated movement for social justice and seeks to positively impact the social determinants of health in the region. It has been expanded to address disaster relief in Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico. </p>
<h3>How to Help</h3>
<p>The <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-provides-special-relief-to-encourage-leave-based-donation-programs-for-victims-of-hurricane-harvey" target="_blank">IRS has announced special measures</a> intended to encourage Americans to increase charitable giving in the wake of the devastation left by Hurricane Harvey in coastal Texas and Louisiana. These measures include the ability of employees to forgo their vacation, sick, or personal leave in exchange for their employer making cash donations (before January 1, 2019) to provide relief for victims of the disaster. Employers are also permitted to deduct the cash payments as business expenses. <a href="https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/help-for-victims-of-hurricane-harvey" target="_blank">More information is available on the IRS website</a>. </p>
<p><a href="http://ghcf.org/" target="_blank">Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund</a><br /><strong>The Greater Houston Community Foundation</strong><br />
After receiving an overwhelming number of inquiries from citizens and companies who want to help, Mayor Sylvester Turner has established the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund that will accept tax deductible flood relief donations for victims that have been affected by the recent floods. The Greater Houston Community Foundation is administering the fund. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.dallasfoundation.org/in-the-media-article.aspx?id=49" target="_blank">Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief Fund</a><br /><strong>The Dallas Foundation</strong><br />
The Dallas Foundation has also established a fund that will support nonprofit organizations providing aid to Hurricane Harvey victims.</p>
<p><a href="http://disasterphilanthropy.org/cdp-fund/cdp-hurricane-harvey-recovery-fund/" target="_blank">CDP Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund</a><br /><strong>Center for Disaster Philanthropy</strong><br />
In response to the needs that will arise following this devastating storm, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy has established the CDP Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund that will focus on medium and long-term rebuilding needs. We expect the long-term needs to be rebuilding homes, businesses, infrastructure, meeting the needs of young children, supporting mental health needs, and boosting damaged agricultural sectors.</p>

Rebuilding in areas impacted by Harvey will be most challenging for marginalized communities. Nearly a quarter of Houstonians live in poverty, approximately 550,000 people, and there are about 575,000 immigrants in the Houston metro area. TOP will work to ensure that Harvey's most vulnerable victims have access to critical services from first response and basic needs to healthcare, housing and transportation. </p>

Recognizing the immediate and longer-term challenges so many will face in the coming days, weeks, and months – especially people over age 50 who have been affected – AARP Foundation created a relief fund to support the victims devastated by Hurricane Harvey. To meet their needs, AARP and AARP Foundation will also match – dollar for dollar – contributions up to a total of $1 million. Working with the AARP state offices in the affected areas, we will direct 100 percent of all funds raised to organizations providing relief and recovery support to disaster victims.</p>
