Disaster Recovery Funds

Disaster Recovery Funds (DRFs) have been activated across the region in support of vulnerable populations following severe flooding on June 21, 2024 and continuing. The DRFs provide an opportunity for the public to give, with the reassurance that donations will be quickly moved to resources where they are needed most to adapt to evolving priorities. The flexibility of the funds ensures counties and communities can respond to supplement needs being provided by existing nonprofit, local, state and federal programs. Learn more and find a list of communities that have activated or established funds by visiting the Greater DSM Community Foundation website.
