Funding Katrina relief

Corporations, foundations gave over $577 million to effort, report says.



Over 400 foundations and corporations have committed more than $577 million to immediate relief and ongoing rebuilding efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, a new report says.

The vast majority of those institutional donors say donations made in response to the 2005 hurricanes did not affect their regular giving, says the Foundation Center's report, 'Giving in the Aftermath of the Gulf Coast Hurricanes: Report on the Foundation and Corporate Response.'"
