Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be “above-normal.” The first named tropical storm, Andrea, developed on June 24. According to experts, warm temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and forecasted weak wind shear may cause an uptick later in the season. Even if the 2025 season doesn’t break records, warmer waters and favorable conditions mean each storm has a higher potential for rapid intensification and severity.
Many communities are still recovering from past hurricanes. Ongoing recovery work stemming from Hurricanes Ian, Nicole, Idalia, Debby, Helene and Milton can be seen across Florida, while many Caribbean countries are facing challenges caused by a violent, active 2024 storm season. And swathes of inland communities across the southeastern US and Central Appalachia that do not normally receive strong impacts from hurricanes are navigating a recovery period they never expected to face.
Our Atlantic Hurricane Season Recovery Fund helps communities devastated by Atlantic hurricanes, prioritizing initiatives that support those facing systemic barriers to equitable recovery.
We focus on the greatest areas of need for the recovery process. Our approach is community- and expert-informed, focused on medium- and long-term recovery, and rooted in an intersectional racial equity lens.

This fund supports these disasters:
Medium and long-term recovery
We support recovery programs identified by our disaster experts in partnership with those in the affected communities. This includes rebuilding homes and providing mental health, legal, and disaster case management services. As the recovery progresses, we often shift our focus to address other emerging or low-attention challenges identified by our local partners.
Community- and expert-informed
In consultation with local stakeholders, our team identifies specific unmet recovery needs and funding gaps in each community. We explore investing in all geographic areas affected by the Atlantic hurricanes.
Intersectional racial equity lens
CDP prioritizes giving resources to meet the needs of populations and individuals marginalized by systemic inequities.
With funding from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy's Atlantic Hurricane Recovery Fund, our grantee partners are helping affected communities rebuild stronger and be better prepared to face future hurricanes and disasters.
