Description
Norfolk Southern’s Community Disaster Relief Grant supports organizations serving communities affected by severe weather events within the company’s 22-state network. The program addresses both immediate relief needs and the longer-term work of recovery, recognizing that communities may need assistance beyond the initial aftermath of a disaster. Its focus is disaster-related community relief and recovery.
Norfolk Southern’s Community Impact team determines when to activate funding opportunities following significant disasters within its network. This is a disaster-responsive program rather than a grant with a standing annual application window. When funding is activated, opportunity details and application information are posted on the company’s Grant Programs page.
