Kerr County Flood Relief Fund
The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund provides resources to community-based nonprofit agencies in support of families, individuals, and businesses across the Texas Hill Country directly impacted by the devastating July 4 floods.
Fund Overview
On the morning of July 4 at 9:48 a.m., as floodwaters were still rising, the Community Foundation launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.
In the hours and days that followed, donations poured in from across Texas and the nation — from major institutions to kids’ lemonade stands.
This immediate response showed the power of community in action and set the stage for one of the fastest and largest philanthropic efforts in CFTHC’s history.

Phases of Support
Community Data
The Needs Assessment was launched on August 4, 2025, to understand what households impacted by the floods need most to recover. Community members shared information about housing damage, financial challenges, health needs, and other impacts. These results help guide how recovery resources are allocated and ensure assistance matches real needs.
