August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina makes landfall as a category 4 storm in southeast Louisiana. Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. The storm caused devastation along the Gulf coasts of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with catastrophic effects on the city of New Orleans. Levees separating Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans were breached by the storm surge, ultimately flooding roughly 80 percent of the city and many areas of neighboring parishes. The Hurricane damaged more than 850,000 homes and caused an eventual death toll of 1,836 across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Georgia National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) and Tennessee.

After the storm, many people with medical conditions had no access to medical care. Services were scattered and prescriptions couldn’t be filled. Even worse, many health care providers had evacuated and hospitals closed, creating a medical void and a potential health crisis.
The Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund stepped in with grants that covered a range of healthcare needs. Grantees supplied medical care, laboratory services, hospital transportation and mobile health units. Mental health professionals counseled patients while doctors were hired to treat hypertension, diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other ailments. With healthy minds and bodies, Gulf Coast residents will be better equipped to rebuild their lives.
The Children’s Health Fund mobile health units deliver long-term medical and mental health services. BCKF’s grant helped train 223 mental health and medical professionals and served approximately 1,000 people.

While residents required immediate relief for food, shelter and medical help in the days following the hurricane, BCKF recognized the need for social services that could empower residents for years to come. Funds provided urgent legal assistance for residents with housing issues, wheelchair ramps for the disabled, childcare, early childhood education and new youth centers. By lending a hand today, BCKF is providing people with more control over their future.
A foundation for the f u ture
After the devastation of Katrina, many residents of the Gulf Coast states didn’t only lose their homes, they lost everything: schools, parks, comfortable routines, familiar faces in the neighborhood. Communities were torn apart.
BCKF responded through the repair and construction of schools, libraries, community resource centers, day care centers and homes. Grants went toward building and rehabilitating affordable multi-family, single family and mixed income homes throughout Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. Some evacuees moved into affordable rental housing while others moved into brand new homes.
BCKF may not have been able to replace valuables and old photographs, but it did provide foundations for families to create new memories.

A single closed business means displaced workers and lost services. Multiply that by thousands and you can see how Katrina shut down the Gulf Coast’s financial engine.
Fund grantees spurred the economy back to life, creating economic opportunities and rebuilding livelihoods. They moved fishing boats back to Gulf waters, provided financial counseling, trained workers and matched them with employers. To infuse cities with much-needed tax revenue, some grantees provided loans that allowed small businesses to re-open their doors, while others taught business owners new skills. By working together, grantees helped to revive the economy and improve the quality of life for residents and neighborhoods.

In came funds to rebuild water, sewer and gas utility systems and restore neighborhood parks. To ensure prudent rebuilding efforts, urban planning experts provided ideas that considered how economic, environmental social, and political factors could co-exist with future infrastructure needs.

Education: help today, hope for tomorrow
When schools are closed for repair or a population is displaced and tuitions go unpaid, students are forced to put their futures on hold and communities lose a key economic and cultural stimulus. These were only a few of the post-Katrina consequences facing the region’s institutions of education.
Thanks to BCKF donors, faculty and staff at institutions of higher learning were retained; colleges and universities were able to rebuild their facilities and replace ruined equipment; and teachers were trained and recruited for elementary, junior high and high schools. As home to the economic and intellectual life in the communities, these schools can once again serve their vital role.

Hurricane Katrina caused people to question everything. Why did this happen to me? Why did this happen here? Do I have the strength to start over?
When residents of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi looked for hope, many turned to their houses of worship. Equipped with BCKF support, a range of faiths – including Baptist, African Methodist Episcopal, Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish, Lutheran, Muslim, Pentecostal, Presbyterian and United Methodist – were able to repair, rebuild and continue to provide warm food, clean clothing, safe shelters and heartfelt counseling to people who had lost everything. More importantly, they transformed a bleak present into a hopeful future.

Reviving A vibrant culture
As Katrina’s wind and rain damaged buildings, it also crippled the region’s intellectual and artistic resources. Recognizing the vital role that culture plays in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, BCKF monies went toward purchasing books for public libraries and replacing musical equipment and sound systems for churches and schools. Yet perhaps most critically, BCKF allowed trades-people and artists to continue honing their crafts. They not only regained their livelihoods, but can now pass on a rich culture to future generations.

“The people on the ground in the Gulf are the ones who drive and own the recovery’s success. But it is incumbent upon all of us – at every level of government and throughout the private sector – to work together on this.”

These were only a few of the major issues that institutions of higher learning faced. Because recovery is still ongoing, BCKF awarded five grants to organizations that support work connected to higher education including training, and collaboration with other institutions and organizations. Institutions of higher learning lay a foundation for economic prosperity, quality of life and hope for the future. As centers of education, they promote intellectual growth and foster careers. As employers, they provide jobs that support families and generate tax revenue for the neighborhoods where they reside.

“We are determined, through our fund, to help the good people of the Gulf Region rebuild their lives and livelihoods, by continuing to provide the grants and funding that people need to move forward.”
Former President William J. Clinton
The unpredictable nature of a disaster makes addressing large-scale recovery a complicated process. Relief work requires speed, experience, resources and flexibility. While some efforts are obvious and require immediate action – such as providing shelter, food and medical help – other needs arise in context and point out areas not covered by federal, state or private funds. For example, a destroyed library needs repairs and new books. Children who lost parents need both physical and mental health services. Situations like these not only have a direct impact on people’s lives, but also affect community rebuilding as a whole. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.
Recognizing that all needs could not be identified in the hours and days after the disaster, BCKF determined that some monies should be reserved to fill gaps that would not be immediately apparent. Ultimately, $35.6 million was distributed in the category of Community Grants. Grant Examples Children’s Health Fund provided mental health and primary care services to thousands of children and their families in southern Mississippi and Louisiana.
New Schools for New Orleans supported public charter schools in the New Orleans area. They recruited and placed 178 teachers, recruited 50 people to become board members of charter schools and provided 32 schools with pro-bono legal advice.
Global Green used its grant to help increase energy efficiency for up to five schools in greater New Orleans and to work with the New Orleans Recovery School District to build two model schools using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating system. Global Green will also promote sustainable change in the region by providing technical expertise in green building design for the school system, key stakeholders and contracted construction workers.

The Meet our Board of Directors, Staff, functions of the committee included: a) oversight of the BCKF’s financial reporting process; and b) review Consultants and Advisors of the BCKF’s annual financial statements with staff and the external auditor. Reporting requirements were included in all fund grants and depending on the type of grant and complexity of the work being undertaken, the grantees were required to report quarterly, annually, or upon reaching pre-determined milestones or completion.
As of December 31, 2007, BCKF fulfilled its grant-making, monitoring and evaluation responsibilities and closed its day-to-day operations. Monitoring of grants for work still in progress has been assigned to the Foundation for the Mid South.
