Florida Disaster Fund

The Florida Disaster Fund is the State of Florida’s official private fund established to assist Florida’s communities as they respond to and recover during times of emergency or disaster. In partnership with the public sector, private sector and other non-governmental organizations, the Florida Disaster Fund supports response and recovery activities.

Donations to the Florida Disaster Fund are made to the Volunteer Florida Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN# 01-0973168), and are tax deductible.

Paypal/Braintree, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express have committed to waiving fees for those making a donation for Hurricane Idalia recovery.  100% of every donation will be used to help Floridians recover.

The Florida Disaster Fund distributes funds to service organizations that will serve individuals within their communities with disaster response and recovery.

If you prefer to donate by check, please make your check out to “Volunteer Florida Foundation” and include “Florida Disaster Fund” in the memo line. Checks can be mailed to:
