Emergency Grant Recipients

As of June 1, 2010, the Gulf Coast Fund has distributed $200,000 to 32 organizations. Below is a list of organizations that have received grants, along with how funds will be spent. We will continue to make emergency grants on a bi-weekly basis, but in order to continue supporting the community-led response effort, we need more support. Please help now by donating to the Gulf Coast Fund.  Your donation will go directly to the grassroots organizations working in communities all along the Gulf Coast on the frontlines of this disaster. Please enter the amount you would like to donate in whole dollars, then click "Donate".
