FUND FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS (FFVI)
The FUND FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS was established shortly after Hurricane Irma
to provide monies for critical needs in the U.S. Virgin Islands, both to support short-term relief efforts and to enhance the well-being of future generations. Strategic planning for these efforts was coordinated with input from local government, national experts, and trusted local nonprofits.
To continue to honor this commitment, the CFVI Board of Directors created the BUILDING FORWARD FUND (BFF) to expand and deepen the recovery work accomplished through the FFVI, and transition to a permanent Fund.
USVI Recovery.org was launched as the official USVI recovery webpage. FFVI awarded nearly $5.5 million in grants.
