How you can help our neighbors in West, Texas.


The West, Texas Disaster Relief Efforts Fund has been established at the Waco Foundation.  Donations can be made by visiting the Waco Foundation's website, wacofoundation.org, or by clicking the following link:  Donate Now:  The West, Texas Disaster Relief Efforts Fund.

Three local foundations, Cooper, Rapoport and Waco have coordinated together to establish The West, Texas Disaster Relief Efforts Fund, to be housed at Waco Foundation.  This fund is for the sole benefit of the victims and relief efforts of the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion that took place on Wednesday evening, April 17.  The Foundations are in the process of communicating with City of West officials to determine an appropriate West representative that can advise the allocation of resources based on the community's highest needs.  The Rapoport Foundation has made a lead gift of $20,000 to the fund to encourage the Waco community to be the leading contributors in support of our neighbors in West, Texas. 

If you have additional questions on how to contribute to this fund, please contact Melissa Miller, Director of Communications and  Donor Services, Waco Foundation, by calling 254.754.3404 or you may email Melissa at mmiller@wacofoundation.org.
