The Humana Foundation, philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE:
HUM) for the past 40 years, is donating $50,000 in relief efforts
for those impacted by recent flooding across Tennessee. This giving
is part of The Foundation’s commitment to supporting communities in
crisis through Disaster Philanthropy.
On August 21st, the Tennessee counties of Humphreys, Dickson,
Houston and Hickman experienced 14 inches of rainfall over a six
hour period. The speed of this significant rainfall caused severe
flooding that has taken over 20 lives, injured roughly 200 and
destroyed at least 270 homes. In response, the Community Foundation
of Middle Tennessee activated the Tennessee Emergency Response Fund
to assist those impacted by the flooding. The Humana Foundation
donated $50,000 to the fund to help the relief efforts go further
in affected communities. Money contributed to the fund will be
disbursed through grants to nonprofits supporting relief and
restoration in areas of Middle Tennessee affected by the severe
storms and floods. “Our hearts go out to everyone who has been
affected by the extreme and sudden flooding that took place in
Central Tennessee,” said The Humana Foundation interim CEO Caraline
Coats. “We are grateful for The Community Foundation of Middle
Tennessee’s rapid activation in making sure those in need receive
support from trusted community organizations.”
In times of need, The Humana Foundation partners with
organizations and sends disaster relief funding to address these
needs, especially as they relate to The Humana Foundation’s areas
of focus, with food and financial security at the forefront in
emergency situations.
