Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Contributes $50,000 to Accelerate Flood Relief Efforts in Juneau, Alaska
10 August 2024 - 5:20AM
In a significant move to support flood recovery efforts in Juneau,
Alaska, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NYSE: NCLH) has announced a
$50,000 donation to the Juneau Community Foundation. This
contribution is aimed at providing direct financial assistance to
residents affected by the unprecedented flooding triggered by the
release of water from the Mendenhall Glacier.
The recent flood, described as the worst in Juneau’s history,
has caused widespread destruction, inundating homes and displacing
numerous residents. NCLH’s donation to the Juneau Community
Foundation will support a newly established fund aimed at providing
financial assistance for needs that may not be fully covered by
FEMA.
“We are deeply connected to the Juneau community, and witnessing
the devastation from the recent flood has been heart-wrenching,”
said Dan Farkas, executive vice president, general counsel, and
chief development officer at NCLH. “Juneau is not just a
destination for us; it’s a community we truly care about.
‘Strengthening Our Communities’ is a key pillar of our global Sail
& Sustain program, and we feel a profound responsibility to
stand by the residents of Juneau in their time of need. Our
donation is focused on providing direct financial relief to help
families rebuild their lives and facilitate a fast return to
normalcy.”
The Juneau Community Foundation will gather applications from
affected residents, who will be asked to complete a simple,
one-page form. By the end of September, the foundation will review
the applications and begin disbursing funds to those in need. For
more details on how to donate or apply to the fund, please visit

“We are grateful for NCLH's generous donation, which will play a
crucial role in helping our community recover from this disaster,”
said Amy Skilbred, executive director of Juneau Community
Foundation. “This fund will allow us to quickly and effectively
provide financial support to residents who are struggling to
rebuild their homes and lives.”
The Juneau Community Foundation, a respected nonprofit
organization dedicated to improving the quality of life in Juneau,
works to address critical community needs through partnerships and
philanthropic efforts.
