LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Humana Foundation, philanthropic arm of Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), announced today a $50,000 contribution to advance sustained recovery efforts in Kentucky communities devastated by the most recent wave of severe storms and tornadoes.

On Friday, May 16, powerful storms swept across the state, causing widespread destruction—particularly in Laurel and Pulaski Counties. The city of London experienced considerable damage, and residents across the region continue to grapple with the aftermath of a relentless spring tornado season. At least 19 lives have been lost in what has become yet another tragic weather disaster.

In response to the recent tornadoes, the Humana Foundation is directing $50,000 to the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky to help address urgent needs and foster healing and restoration. This funding, part of the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to helping communities in times of crisis, will help provide critical resources and assist individuals inundated because of this current catastrophe.

“Our hearts go out to the people of Kentucky who are facing the aftermath of these unyielding storms,” said Tiffany Benjamin, CEO of the Humana Foundation. “We are determined to uplift our communities, especially during this unfortunate time. With deep-rooted knowledge of the region, the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky is uniquely equipped to ensure these resources are directed where they’re needed most.”

Humana employees are also actively contributing to a dedicated giving campaign, with the Humana Foundation matching all donations. Contributions will be distributed among a coalition of nonprofit organizations working diligently to assist the affected communities. These include the Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund, United Way of Laurel County, Samaritan’s Purse, and American Red Cross.
