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.
A Community Transformed by Courage, Generosity, and Action
At 9:48 a.m. on July 4, 2025, while floodwaters were still rising, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country launched the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.
Within minutes the first gifts arrived. Within hours support poured in from across Texas and around the world from major institutions, corporate partners and neighbors giving what they could.
What followed became one of the swiftest and most unifying philanthropic responses in Texas history. Donors refused to wait and refused to let Kerr County face this alone.
Together donors built the foundation for the multi-year recovery effort now underway across housing needs, mental health support, community and environmental restoration and long-term resiliency.

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.
