The DeVos Family Foundation is donating $1 million to assist with Hurricane Ian relief efforts in Central Florida and across the state, the Orlando Magic announced Friday.
The DeVos Family Foundation (DVFF) and the Magic are working with local partners and officials to ensure help is available to those most impacted in Central Florida and throughout the entire region.
DVFF is donating $500,000 to the Hurricane Recovery Fund set up by the Heart of Florida United Way and the Central Florida Foundation, $250,000 to the statewide Florida Disaster Fund and $250,000 will be reserved for future rebuilding efforts.
“Our hearts are with this community, which has long been part of our family,” Magic chairman Dan DeVos said in a statement. “We will continue to partner with organizations closest to those most impacted and as always, prioritize the health and safety of the people in the region. This community is resilient, and our thoughts and prayers are with those affected as well as the leaders and first responders who continually put neighbors first.”
The DeVos Family Foundation will also continue its 30 Grants for 30 Years Initiative with the Orlando Magic throughout the 2022-23 season, providing funding and in-game recognition for nonprofit honorees in the Orlando area.
The donations are part of the DeVos family’s effort to contribute a total of $3 million to 30 area nonprofit organizations over the course of this season and last.
