How to help: Texas floods
Updated July 17, 2025
Throughout the weekend of July 4, 2025, historic amounts of rain fell in record time across central Texas, triggering flash floods in the region. The Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours, resulting in significant loss of life and damage in Kerr County, the hardest hit area. Many are still missing. Search and rescue efforts are complicated by debris and continued threat of flooding across the Texas Hill Country.
Fidelity Charitable collaborates with the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to identify organizations that are responding in times of crisis. We’ve prioritized funds and responding organizations operating in the impacted areas.
