NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 5, 2017--
American International Group, Inc. (NYSE:AIG) today announced that it is
providing $1 million in aid to organizations focused on emergency relief
and ongoing recovery following Hurricane Harvey.
AIG will allocate $500,000 to Houston-based nonprofits for immediate
local relief efforts. The company and its Houston employees have a long
history of working with these organizations through years of
volunteerism and employee contributions.
The remaining $500,000 will go toward critical medium- and longer-term
recovery efforts in partnership with The Center for Disaster
Philanthropy (CDP), a leader in strategic disaster-related giving.
“We support and applaud the efforts of our local nonprofit partners who
are well-placed to meet the needs of the community today, and respond to
the longer-term needs that will emerge as the full impact of Hurricane
Harvey is known,” said Brian Duperreault, AIG President and Chief
Executive Officer. “We have a strong presence in Houston, and have been
focused on ensuring the safety of our employees and their families,
while responding to the needs of our clients in the area. We greatly
appreciate and recognize the courage and generosity of our people in
Houston, and the outpouring of support from our colleagues and partners
around the world.”
Bob Ottenhoff, President and CEO of CDP, said, “We are grateful to AIG
for this generous contribution to the CDP Hurricane Harvey Disaster
Fund. We know from past disasters, especially through our experiences
with hurricanes and floods, that full recovery will take many years. In
response to the needs that will arise following this devastating storm,
the CDP Hurricane Harvey Recovery Fund will focus on medium- and
long-term rebuilding needs, including rebuilding homes, businesses and
infrastructure; meeting the needs of young children; supporting mental
health needs; and boosting damaged agricultural sectors.”
