Fortress commits $100k to support Texas communities with flood response

The disastrous floods that struck Central Texas over the weekend have caused heartbreaking loss for countless communities and families. Given our longstanding office in Dallas and our growing presence over the past decade, we have deep institutional and personal connections to these communities. While we take some solace in knowing that no Fortress colleague has been directly impacted, many of us have loved ones – friends, classmates, congregants, and extended family – grappling with profound loss and emotional pain from the disaster. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone impacted at this time.

To help support the ongoing relief and recovery efforts, Fortress is donating $25,000 each to two local Texas organizations who are providing on-the-ground critical aid to those impacted by the floods: Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country and TEXSAR: Texas Search and Rescue. We are also committing to match up to $50,000 of our employees' donations to increase the impact of their support.

We are immensely grateful to all the first responders and volunteers who are responding to the communities, and we are inspired by the resilience and strength of the people of Texas. While we know that there is a long road ahead, we hope our collective support will help in the efforts to restore and heal.
