Promoting strong communities before, during, and after disasters
For Texas communities to thrive, they must be able to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. That’s why we leverage our national service, volunteerism, and sector-strengthening expertise and resources to support the resilience of Texas communities.
OneStar coordinates with state and national partners such as the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, AmeriCorps, and the Office of the Texas Governor to ensure communities in the Lone Star State have the resources required to build resilience for all.
Rebuild Texas Fund is a trusted statewide disaster recovery fund that provides Texas communities with resources needed to be resilient in the face of disaster. From hurricanes and wildfires to public health emergencies, the Rebuild Texas Fund supports locally led recovery efforts through strategic investments in housing, health, education, and more.
As the state-appointed organization for administering private donations following a disaster, OneStar works with partners to distribute funding to eligible organizations working on the ground in rebuilding and recovery efforts. Every dollar raised goes directly to nonprofits, local governments, and community-based partners working on the front lines of recovery. Whether the disaster is large or small, we’re here to help Texans come back stronger—together.
Disasters can strike anytime—and being prepared makes all the difference. OneStar helps nonprofits, faith-based and community organizations, and government partners strengthen their disaster resilience through expert training, consulting, and speaking services. Our team draws on real-world experience from Texas’s most significant disasters to share proven strategies for preparedness, response, and long-term recovery. Discover how OneStar can help your organization build resilience and serve your community when it matters most.
Texas VOAD is a nonprofit, membership-based association that brings together more than 50 voluntary, faith-based, government, and private sector organizations that respond to disaster as a part of their overall mission.
We provide Texas VOAD with the consistency and continuity needed to convene and support its membership—strengthening the ability of these organizations to harness the valuable essential contributions of Texas volunteers during all phases of disaster.
As a neutral convener of nonprofits, state agencies, academia, philanthropy, and the business community, OneStar promotes and supports cross-sector convenings, training, research, and advocacy efforts that strengthen Texas’ disaster resilience.
