The Dayton Foundation Establishes Disaster Relief Fund To Help Those Impacted By Devastating Tornadoes

In order to provide a rapid response to the devastation left in the wake of the tornadoes that swept through Greater Dayton and Celina on May 27, The Dayton Foundation has established the Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund. The fund will allow the Foundation to quickly distribute disaster relief funds to charitable organizations that currently are working to help provide food, clothing and shelter for our friends and neighbors affected by these storms.

“We are deeply saddened by the destruction these storms have left in our community,“ said Mike Parks, president of The Dayton Foundation. “Many people want to reach out and help our neighbors impacted by the tornadoes. Individuals who contribute to the Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund can be assured that their donations will be distributed safely and responsibly to nonprofit organizations that are on the ground assisting those in need.”

Individuals interested in supporting community relief efforts through the Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund of The Dayton Foundation may make a secure, online credit card donation here, or mail a check to The Dayton Foundation, 1401 S. Main Street, Suite 100, Dayton, Ohio 45409. “Greater Dayton Disaster Relief Fund“ should be designated on the check or in the fund name field.
