Arkansas Community Foundation’s Disaster Recovery Fund was activated in the wake of the tornados that hit central Arkansas and Wynne on March 31, 2023. The Central Arkansas Tornado Recovery Fund (for Pulaski and Lonoke Counties) and the Cross County Tornado Recovery Fund (for Wynne,) were established to support nonprofits serving these communities’ long-term needs.
The first phase of grant applications is now closed. We accepted grant applications for organizations doing long-term recovery in both areas. Grants will be selected by a committee of local leaders who live and work in the affected community, in partnership with the community’s long-term disaster recovery committee and representatives of Arkansas Community Foundation.
Applications were accepted from August 1 – August 31, 2023.
Grants will range up to $25,000, although larger grants may be awarded in some circumstances.
