A Catalyst for Innovation
and Collaboration

While strides have been made, Hurricane Helene’s impact is still being felt in far Western North Carolina. This once-in-a-century storm ravaged our small mountain communities, leaving physical, emotional, and financial destruction in its wake.

We are responding by accepting disaster relief donations and using them to address unmet needs in our community. Click either button below to join the recovery effort.

Your donation will provide emergency relief, rebuild homes, and bring essential resources to those affected.

Nonprofits and government agencies are invited to apply for up to $12,500 in funding to address storm-related needs in your community.
