The Wells Fargo Foundation today announced a donation of $100,000 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief and other storm relief efforts in response to the recent storms in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee that caused devastating damage last week. 

Of the funding, $35,000 will be donated to the Red Cross of Alabama and another $30,000 committed to other nonprofits to support long-term recovery efforts throughout the state; $25,000 to the Georgia Region of the Red Cross and $10,000 to the Tennessee Region of the Red Cross. Donations to Red Cross Disaster Relief support disasters big and small and countless other crises nationwide.

“Seeing images of the destruction is heart-breaking. Our thoughts are with the families whose lives have been affected across the Southeast,” said Wells Fargo’s Southeast Lead Region President Scott M. Coble. “We hope these grants will help communities impacted by disasters.”
