KERR COUNTY, Texas – The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country announced on Tuesday that it has raised $60 million from people across the U.S. following the deadly floods.
The foundation’s CEO, Austin Dickson, stated that the donations are made possible by the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, which was implemented on July 4, 2025.
Dickson announced plans to disperse $4.4 million to multiple nonprofit organizations, as well as local businesses, first responders, crisis assistance efforts and a school district.
“I’m really proud of this round of grants. We have existing relationships with these grantees. We know their staff, their volunteers,” Dickson said, in part. “We know their advocates, and we know their heart, and we know that they’re going to be able to deliver for us.”
Who’s receiving the grants?
Dickson discussed some of the grantees on Tuesday, noting that the entire list is available on the foundation’s website.
