Calvert Giving Fund
We Need Your Help for Gulf Coast Recovery
Three years have passed since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coast, destroying homes and displacing communities. Support from caring individuals around the world have helped rebuilding efforts, but - particularly with Gustav hitting the Gulf - there is still much to be done.

Serenity Davenport's home in Abbeyville, LA was destroyed by floods following Hurricane Rita. Thanks to Calvert Foundation partner Southern Mutual Help Association, Serenity and her daughter now have a safe place to live once again. Calvert Foundation's Gulf Coast Recovery Initiative makes it possible for investors to invest directly in ongoing recovery efforts. Your investment or donation provides affordable loans to carefully vetted, highly effective organizations rebuilding homes and businesses in the Gulf Coast region.

DONATE: Your GiftShares donation leverages investment dollars further.
If you aren't ready to invest, but would still like to support these efforts, consider a tax-deductible GiftShares donation. These gifts provide the core capital Calvert Foundation needs to support our many partners in the Gulf Coast region. A donation in any amount you are willing to give helps us put more investment dollars to work in vulnerable communities. The best part of our GiftShares donation program is that charitable gifts are leveraged 20 times their original value. Therefore, if you give $20, it is worth $400 in loan value!
