President Trump’s $1 million donation to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts will go to 12 separate organizations, including the Salvation Army and the Red Cross, the White House announced Wednesday.
The Salvation Army and the Red Cross will each receive $300,000, while Reach out America and Samaritan’s Purse will get $100,000 donations.
Trump and his wife, Melania, are also giving $25,000 to both the ASPCA and Catholic Charities.
“The President and First Lady witnessed the work of some of these groups first hand while visiting with hurricane survivors, first responders, volunteers, and Federal, State, and local officials, and are proud to further assist the recovery efforts in Texas,” the White House statement reads.
“Several of the following organizations were recommended, at the invitation of the President, by members of the White House Press Corps, and he would like to thank those who made recommendations for their attention to this important cause.”
The rest of Trump’s $1 million donation will go to Direct Relief, Habitat for Humanity, Houston Humane Society, Operation Blessing, Portlight Inclusive Disaster Strategies and Team Rubicon.
