For anyone wanting to help victims of the Orlando night club shooting, Florida Gov. Rick Scott has activated a state disaster fund to take donations.
Scott announced he opened the fund Monday. With no overhead costs, he says, all money donated will go directly to organizations that serve survivors and their families.
In a written statement, Scott said, he’s committed to “ensuring every resource is available” to help those in need following Sunday’s attack, which left 49 victims dead and more than 50 wounded.
The Florida Disaster Fund is the state’s private fund established to assist with response and recovery during emergencies or disasters. Donations to the fund are made to the charitable Volunteer Florida Foundation and are tax deductible.
Donations can be made at floridadisasterfund.org
