Truist Foundation Announces $1 Million Grant To Assist With Hurricane Milton Relief, Recovery Across Florida
Truist Foundation has announced a $1 million grant to support relief and recovery efforts in Florida communities impacted by Hurricane Milton. This comes just two weeks after Hurricane Helene hit the area. The funds will be distributed to organizations including the American Red Cross, IT Disaster Resource Center, United Way Worldwide, World Central Kitchen, and Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund.
The grant aims to provide both immediate aid and long-term recovery support. This donation follows previous grants of $500,000 each for Hurricane Helene relief and support for Western North Carolina. Earlier this year, Truist Foundation also donated $1 million to the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program.
La Fondazione Truist ha annunciato un finanziamento di 1 milione di dollari per sostenere gli sforzi di soccorso e recupero nelle comunità della Florida colpite dall'Uranione Milton.

Il finanziamento mira a fornire sia aiuti immediati che supporto per il recupero a lungo termine. Questa donazione segue precedenti finanziamenti di 500.000 dollari ciascuno per il soccorso in seguito all'Uranione Helene e supporto per la Carolina del Nord occidentale. All'inizio di quest'anno, la Fondazione Truist ha anche donato 1 milione di dollari al Programma Annuale di Donazioni per i Disastri della Croce Rossa Americana.

트루이스트 재단은 100만 달러 지원금을 발표하여 밀턴 허리케인의 영향을 받은 플로리다 지역사회를 지원하는 구호 및 회복 노력을 돕기로 했습니다. 이는 헬렌 허리케인이 해당 지역을 강타한 지 불과 2주 후의 일입니다. 이 자금은 미국 적십자사, IT 재해 자원 센터, 유나이티드 웨이 월드와이드, 월드 센트럴 키친 및 재난 자선 기금의 애틀란틱 허리케인 시즌 회복 기금과 같은 기관에 배분될 것입니다.
이 지원금의 목적은 즉각적인 지원과 장기적인 회복 지원을 제공하는 것입니다. 이 기부는 헬렌 허리케인 피해를 위한 각각 50만 달러의 이전 지원에 이어지는 것입니다. 올해 초 트루이스트 재단은 미국 적십자사의 연간 재난 기부 프로그램에 100만 달러를 기부하기도 했습니다.
