The Patterson Foundation Is Contributing up to $3 Million to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for Disaster Relief and Recovery

The Giving Coast

In response to Hurricane Milton’s impact on southwest Florida, The Patterson Foundation is contributing up to $3 million in new disaster relief and recovery funding to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. The funding includes separate contributions to the Community Foundation’s Season of Sharing and Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund initiatives to strengthen people and communities in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties: An immediate $1 million gift to Season of Sharing to help provide a financial bridge for those who could be displaced from their homes or face disruptions from work. This contribution comes in addition to The Patterson Foundation’s previously announced Season of Sharing challenge match, which donates $100,000 for every $500,000 raised by the community for the initiative. An immediate $1 million gift to the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund to help support long-term recovery efforts led by local nonprofits in areas impacted by the storm. A $1 million match for additional donations to the Suncoast Disaster Recovery Fund. The Patterson Foundation will match all donations up to $50,000, dollar for dollar. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this storm. We encourage prioritizing safety and well-being as the focus shifts toward recovery.
