The July 4 and 5 flash floods across Central Texas—particularly along the Guadalupe River in the Hill Country—resulted in more than 135 deaths, a handful of people still missing and catastrophic financial impacts in the multi-billion-dollar range, with some estimates between $18 and $22 billion.

Texas banks rallied immediately to help in the aftermath of the flooding, providing well over $1 million in aid. The Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, managed by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, was the primary local fund to which most banks directed gifts. Additional bank-funded, industry-wide support came from the Texas Bankers Foundation (the Texas Bankers Association’s charitable arm), which seeded $10,000 and later committed another $100,000 specifically for 2025 flood relief.

Here are some of the Texas community banks that provided aid:

• Broadway Bank, San Antonio: made immediate donations to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund and Salvation Army (amount not disclosed);
• Comerica Bank, Dallas: $10,000 matching grant for the Maestro Entrepreneur Center’s “Rebuild Central Texas Small Businesses” fund (counts as bank dollars as donations are matched);
