In coordination with the Florida Bankers Association, the ICBA Foundation Disaster Relief Program raised over $200,000 to assist Florida’s community banks, employees and their families affected by Hurricane Ian.
ICBA members from around the country generously participated, demonstrating their roles as financial first responders in times of need. ICBA also pledged to match the first $50,000 raised to help donations go further in supporting relief.
The ICBA Foundation Disaster Relief Program supports ICBA-affiliated state associations, ICBA Federal Delegates, and—in states where neither are present—ICBA leadership bankers in fundraising when areas of their state have been affected by presidentially declared or state governor-declared disasters.
In coordination with the affiliated state association and ICBA Federal Delegate or other ICBA leadership banker in the state, funds are collected and disbursed for the express purpose of assisting affected community banks and community bank employees. The ICBA Foundation does not use any of the funds collected to pay the costs of administering this program.
