SIX MONTHS LATER Remembering the Impact of Hurricane Harvey 8 million+ residents affected 230,000 homes damaged ~1,000 school campuses affected 285 with catstrophic or significant damage 300+ miles of coastline 40+ counties severely impacted $150 billion+ in total damage $100 million+ in lost revenue & jobs 4,000+ small businesses disrupted 3

ABOUT The Rebuild Texas Fund Together, we re building a bright future with our friends and neighbors affected by Hurricane Harvey. A TEXAS-SIZED DISASTER REQUIRES A TEXAS-SIZED RESPONSE. In Texas, we believe in thinking big and acting boldly. We also believe in taking care of our neighbors. So when Hurricane Harvey hit, it was personal. It was personal to Michael and Susan Dell because both are native Texans and Michael s hometown is Houston. And it was personal because no one could stand by while friends and neighbors needed help. The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, in collaboration with Governor Greg Abbott and the OneStar Foundation, is leading the charge to raise and deploy $100 million through the Rebuild Texas Fund. Within a week after the storm hit, the Rebuild Texas Fund was up and running and getting to work, seeded with a personal gift of $36 million from Michael and Susan. Today, thanks to support from over 30,000 donors that have answered the call from across Texas and around the world the Rebuild Texas Fund is $93.1 million strong and has awarded grants in all affected regions along the Gulf Coast. To date, the Rebuild Texas Fund has deployed almost $15 million across 50 projects. The team has been immersed in affected communities, paying visits every week to meet with community leaders, impacted families, business leaders, elected officials and nonprofits to develop the best response. We re in it together For a $100 million fund to meaningfully impact $150 billion of damage, we have to be in it together. This means being in it with our donors all 32,277 individuals, corporations and foundations who have contributed to the Rebuild Texas Fund. This means being in it with key public resources federal, state and local to ensure a coordinated response. This means being in it with other funders, corporations, private sector players anyone who can bring to bear their resources on the problems at hand. Most importantly, it means being in it with communities, being there on the ground with them, showing up again and again, helping to problem solve and navigate the slew of issues they face on the road to full recovery. We re in it together to make a difference for Texas communities, big and small, affected by Hurricane Harvey. 4

Our IMPACT The Rebuild Texas Fund is about hope, resilience, and hard work. Together, we re building a bright future with our friends and neighbors affected by Hurricane Harvey. Here are the stories of just a few of the people and communities we ve helped. HELPING DISPLACED FAMILIES COME HOME Stephanie Torres and her family lived in their Rockport home for 30 years before Hurricane Harvey hit. The water came up three feet in the home, and the mold grew four feet high in the aftermath. Stephanie wasn t able to salvage anything in their home. Everything from clothes, to dishes, to furniture was gone. Samaritan s Purse, with funding from the Rebuild Texas Fund, mucked and gutted the home, and then sprayed to stop mold growth. Now, a new team is on site to help with rebuilding, including installing plumbing and electricity, with hopes to have Stephanie s house in livable condition by Spring 2018. Across Texas, teams from Samaritan s Purse are rebuilding communities, home by home. Being a resident here and seeing the devastation was very, very difficult. It was a very big deal to have the school so damaged. It s the heart and soul of this community. Wendy Moore, Port Aransas ISD Parent REVITALIZING SCHOOLS AND CHILD CARE CENTERS Last year, first graders in Meghan Zigmond s class told her they were thankful for paint and grout for Thanksgiving. These young kids are thrilled to be back at school, but the reality of Hurricane Harvey is always in the background. The teachers, principals, administrators, and coaches who make school an amazing experience for kids are also dealing with personal loss and devastation from Harvey. The Rebuild Texas Fund worked with the Port Aransas Education Foundation to rebuild playgrounds, provide laptops and laptop carts to teachers, and create a mobile science lab. Getting kids to school and classrooms running is just one part of a community returning to normal and Port Aransas desperately wants to get back to normal. 8

Our IMPACT PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS Our goal is to help normalize the lives of the children impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Trauma affects academic achievement, health, and behavior in school. Communities in Schools (CIS) works to provide purposeful prevention and intervention services, so that students and families will have the tools and information needed to help cope with their experiences and address issues that are currently affecting their ability to function and succeed in school. Using funding from the Rebuild Texas Fund, CIS provides case management services that focus on relief and recovery resource connection, helping students cope with trauma related to Hurricane Harvey, and financial assistance for basic needs. Together, CIS and Rebuild Texas Fund are working to normalize the lives of the children, and helping them to recognize and cope with behaviors that can result from trauma. It hit this community at 10:30 at night and destroyed 35% of the business and our homes. When we woke up the next morning we realized we had taken a devastating blow and we had a lot of work to do. The Honorable Charles C.J. Wax, Mayor of Rockport SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES TO RE-OPEN AND THRIVE Small businesses are the economic engines of Texas communities. Ninety percent of Rockport-Fulton s economy depends on tourism, yet 65 percent of businesses in the area have not yet been able to put up their open signs. As president of the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, Diane Probst wants small businesses to access financial capital and other assistance to re-open and thrive. With help from the Rebuild Texas Fund, small businesses are getting the grants and business loans they need to make vital repairs, pay staff, and open their doors once again. 9

Project HIGHLIGHTS LAUNCHING THE SMALL BUSINESS INITIATIVE WITH LIFTFUND LiftFund, in collaboration with Goldman Sachs and the Rebuild Texas Fund, launched the $7 million Texas Small Business Rebuild Initiative. The Initiative will provide loans of up to $25,000 at a zero percent interest rate to up to 350 small businesses impacted by Hurricane Harvey. LEVERAGING A MATCHING GIFT WITH DONORSCHOOSE.ORG TO SUPPLY $1M FOR SCHOOLS With a grant of $500,000, the Rebuild Texas Fund leveraged the Donorschoose.org crowdfunding platform to fully match the grant and provide a total of $1 million worth of school materials for classrooms in schools impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Over 1,000 projects serving 113,000 students across 265 schools have been funded. SUPPORTING EIGHT DAYS OF HOPE TO REBUILD TEXAS HOMES The Rebuild Texas Fund is supporting Eight Days of Hope in undertaking one of the biggest volunteer housing rebuilds in US history. The build takes place in Dickinson from March 12-24, 2018. Over 15 days, Eight Days of Hope will draw from over 2,000 volunteers to repair and rebuild 500-750 homes. EXPANDING THE REACH OF REBUILDING TO UNDERSERVED COUNTIES WITH iconnect With support for the Rebuild Texas Fund, iconnect, a housing nonprofit based in Houston has successfully replicated its home building program to address needs in underserved areas of Orange, Hardin, and Jefferson counties. iconnect is now also supporting smaller housing organizations in Montgomery County. 10
