VeraBank Launches Flood Recovery Matching Gift Campaign
Henderson, TX – The catastrophic flooding on July 4th caused heartbreaking loss and widespread devastation across Central Texas. In response, VeraBank is launching a matching gift campaign supporting both the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country (CFTHC) Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and Central Texas Community Foundation™ WilCo Cares Flood Relief Fund.
VeraBank will match donations made through the VeraBank Flood Recovery Matching Gift Campaign dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000 for each community foundation until August 1, 2025, doubling the impact of each contribution.
In addition to the matching gift, VeraBank is donating $75,000 to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and $75,000 to the WilCo Cares Flood Relief Fund, to further support the recovery efforts.
The campaign goal is to fully realize the $75,000 matching gift to each fund, which combined with VeraBank’s $75,000 donation to each fund would result in a combined $450,000 contribution to flood relief efforts.
“Our hearts are with everyone affected by the recent floods in the Texas Hill Country,” said VeraBank CEO Brad Tidwell. “At VeraBank, we believe in the strength of community, and through our Flood Recovery Matching Gift Campaign, we aim to amplify the support available. By working together, we can help families and businesses rebuild and recover, making every contribution count where it’s needed most.”
