State Society of Florida Beneficiary Charities

One America Appeal is a joint appeal that was originally launched by all five living former American Presidents to encourage their fellow citizens to support recovery efforts from Hurricane Harvey — which inundated the Texas Gulf Coast with unprecedented flooding. This special appeal has been expanded to include areas most affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. ​All funds collected through the One America Appeal will go into a special account at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, to ensure 100 cents out of every dollar donated goes to hurricane recovery. All monies collected will be distributed immediately to the designated recovery funds. All donations are also tax-deductible.

Congressional Baseball Game Since 1909 the Congressional Baseball Game has been an annual bipartisan event beloved by all and enjoyed by thousands. Members of the United States Congress from each party solidify friendships off the floor and on the field. Over the last century the Congressional Baseball Game’s popularity has contributed to its evolution into a foundation called Congressional Sports for Charity that supports worthy and effective Washington, DC area charities, including The Washington Literacy Center, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation among others including charities that will show our gratitude to the United States Capitol Police officers and those injured at the Republican practice shooting on June 14, 2017.

In response, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer announced the formation of the OneOrlando Fund. The OneOrlando Fund was used to assist those families of the victims who were killed, the victims who were physically injured and the victims who were physically present inside the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 206 at the time of the Pulse Nightclub Attack but did not suffer physical injury. OneOrlando is a project within Strengthen Orlando, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
