Strengthening disaster impacted communities through the power of giving
The Rebuild Texas Fund helps communities across Texas recover from disasters—both large and small—through flexible, locally driven funding. Established in 2017 after Hurricane Harvey, the Rebuild Texas Fund has become a trusted vehicle for directing charitable contributions where they’re needed most. Working hand in hand with local partners, the Fund supports long-term recovery and resilience while strengthening local capacity, promoting equity, and helping communities rebuild stronger than before
The Rebuild Texas Fund works directly with communities affected by disasters to understand their changing needs and strengths. We carefully vet and partner with trusted local organizations that can manage funds responsibly and transparently.
Our funding decisions are informed by real-time information, community feedback, and input from local leaders to identify unmet needs and fill critical funding gaps. We simplify the funding process by reducing the administrative burden community organizations while maintaining strong accountability and measurable impact.
Rebuild Texas Fund distributes funding through three primary formats to support community-led disaster recovery across the state:
In communities with strong local organizations already in place, we provide funding directly to a trusted local partner – such as a community foundation, local government agency, or established nonprofit – through a formal agreement. These partners are chosen for their deep community connections, transparent leadership, and proven ability to manage resources effectively. This approach enables funds to reach communities quickly and efficiently while ensuring local control and accountability.
We help establish and sustain Long-Term Recovery Groups (LTRGs) – local coalitions of nonprofits, faith-based organizations, volunteers, and community leaders that coordinate recovery efforts after disasters. LTRGs play a vital role in identifying unmet needs, managing assistance for survivors, and aligning resources to ensure an inclusive, community-led recovery process. Our funding supports the infrastructure needed to launch or strengthen an LTRG including staffing, planning, volunteer coordination, and community outreach. This approach empowers each community to design its own recovery strategy based on local priorities and needs.
We fund nonprofit and public-sector programs that help communities recover from disasters and build long-term resilience. Funded projects typically focus on key areas such as community & economic development, education & child care, health, housing, and workforce & transportation. We prioritize funding for programs that serve historically underserved populations or regions with limited access to charitable resources, especially those addressing urgent or emerging needs created or worsened by disaster.
There are no open funding opportunities at this time. Please check back regularly or subscribe to our newsletter for updates on future rounds of funding. Visit RebuildTX.org/funds to view past funding opportunties.
