Virginia Disaster Relief Fund
In the wake of a crisis, whether natural or man-made, individuals are displaced, homes are damaged, businesses are disrupted, and lives are changed.
The Virginia Disaster Relief Fund is a state-managed fund that supplements the critical work of nonprofit, faith-based and local long-term recovery groups.
