The Anguilla Initiative Hurricane Relief Fund

The Anguilla Initiative Hurricane Relief Fund

Purpose

To build an evergreen (i.e. 'always on') hurricane relief fund that accumulates donations over time until the next major weather event that affects Anguilla. At that time, these crucial funds will be immediately deployed to greatest effect to begin the relief efforts and rebuilding process. 

Fund Description

In September 2017, Hurricane Irma became the most recent hurricane to visit Anguilla. Irma was the first Cat 5 hurricane to strike the Leeward Islands on record, carrying sustained winds over 180 mph and causing catastrophic damage to many homes, businesses and other infrastructure and community facilities. 

 

Though power was not even returned until the shortly before Christmas in 2017, it is a testament to the tenacity, community, and resilience of the Anguillan people that Anguilla was again open for business in early spring 2018. 

 

There have been many other storms and hurricanes in Anguilla's history, and we know it is inevitable that another major weather event will come at some point in the future. 

 

Many lessons were learned with Hurricane Irma, including the importance of getting financial support and supplies rapidly deployed to the island to first assist with humanitarian aid for the Anguillan people, and followed by the resources needed to begin rebuilding. 

 

The Anguilla Initiative Hurricane Fund seeks to solicit donations to build a substantial capital resource that can be rapidly deployed whenever the next major weather event affecting Anguilla may come about. Whether in one or 20 years, your donation to the HRF means we'll have capital on hand to address whatever needs arise.
