The Morning Impact — your neighborhood's most important stories, delivered every morning.
A new report from the Central Texas Community Foundation shows that in the year since July floods impacted the Texas Hill Country, the Round Rock-based nonprofit generated $9.4 million in donations to support those impacted.
The big picture
The foundation released a one-year impact report July 1 detailing fundraising efforts in the wake of historic flooding impacting much of Central Texas in July 2025.
Zooming in
The report shows over 1,200 individual donors as well as 150 organizers and corporate partners supported the Travis and Williamson County CARES Funds, with $8 million in direct financial assistance distributed to impacted families. An additional $1.4 million in flood recovery funding was distributed in Burnet and Concho counties, according to the foundation.
This funding assisted about 260 families located in Travis and Williamson counties, the report states.
In their own words
"When disaster struck, our community responded with incredible generosity and compassion," the foundations' Executive Director Amy Merida said. "While no amount of funding can replace what these families lost, we hope it provided something equally important: the reassurance that they were not alone. This impact report is a reflection of what is possible when a community comes together to support its neighbors."
What's next?
The foundation will continue working to address the needs of impacted people in the area that have not been met by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, insurance or other assistance programs through partnerships with the Travis County Recovery Alliance and WilCo Long-Term Recovery Group.
