Abstract: The Center for Disaster Philanthropy, a nonprofit organization that mobilizes philanthropy to support recovery from disasters, has announced $6.8 million in grants for community-led recovery efforts as part of the second round of grants from its Truist Foundation Western North Carolina Recovery and Resiliency Fund to support ongoing recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. This investment in recovery is part of the Truist Foundation's $725 million Truist Cares for Western North Carolina initiative. Through the Fund, the CDP addresses medium- and long-term needs to help strengthen the region's housing and small businesses. In June 2025, the CDP announced the first $3.3 million in grants awarded to four organizations actively leading recovery efforts. The new round of grantees include the Appalachian Community Capital Development Foundation; the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Commission Foundation; the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association; and the Children and Families Resource Center, among others.
