The Humana Foundation, philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE:
HUM) for the past 40 years, is donating $200,000 to the recovery
and relocation efforts for those impacted by Hurricane Ida in
Louisiana. The donation, along with a previous contribution, is
part of The Foundation’s commitment to supporting communities in
crisis through Disaster Philanthropy.
On August 29, Hurricane Ida made landfall along the Louisiana
coast, and communities in its path are still reeling from the
devastation caused by flooding, lack of clean water and damage to
livelihoods and homes. In response to the devastation and ongoing
rebuilding efforts, the Greater New Orleans Foundation activated
the Disaster Response & Restoration Fund and announced
immediate assistance grants to local nonprofits who are leading
recovery efforts in the region’s most impacted parishes. The Humana
Foundation’s $200,000 donation will fund urgent recovery efforts
and reach those on the ground who need relief.
“We continue to be mindful of the devastation and long road
ahead for Louisianans recovering from Hurricane Ida,” said The
Humana Foundation interim CEO Caraline Coats. “And, it’s our
heartfelt honor to support the Greater New Orleans Foundation and
their rapid deployment of funds to organizations providing
emergency resources.”
For four decades and under challenging disasters, The Humana
Foundation has partnered with organizations like the Greater New
Orleans Foundation to cascade relief funding to the people and
community-based organizations who need it the most, especially as
they relate to The Foundation’s areas of focus, with food and
financial security at the forefront in emergency situations.
