Aid provided to three nonprofits to help
families and communities impacted
USAA has announced a donation of $1 million to three nonprofit
organizations supporting communities and families recover from the
impacts of Hurricane Helene. The storm, which made landfall in
Florida’s Gulf Coast region, continues to impact states in the
southeast.
“Hurricane Helene has impacted millions of our USAA members and
continues to cause devastation across the southeast United States,”
said Wayne Peacock, president and CEO at USAA. “USAA was prepared
to assist before the storm hit and is now actively assisting our
members and communities on the road to recovery.”
Three national nonprofits will receive grants to assist in
recovery efforts, including American Red Cross, Team Rubicon and
Feeding America. Their efforts will support families with recovery,
including route clearance, meals and temporary shelter.
In 2023, USAA and The USAA Foundation, Inc. committed
approximately $46 million in philanthropic contributions. USAA
employees extended that impact through their personal giving and
volunteering. In total, USAA employees logged more than 267,000
volunteer hours and contributed more than $7 million to nonprofits
(a total of $13 million with USAA matching). Most recently, USAA
employees raised nearly $600,000 through USAA’s annual Bowlathon
event, with donations going to Onward Ops, Overwatch Project and
K9s for Warriors as part of Face the Fight’s efforts to reduce
veteran suicide.
