The Uvalde Strong Survivors Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation comprised part of the more than $22 million given to support the survivors and honor the memories of those who were killed in the horrific mass shooting on May 24, 2022, at Robb Elementary School. Through the work of our partner, the National Compassion Fund, and the local steering committee in Uvalde, that funding has been distributed to 448 individuals who were traumatized and injured at the school or are surviving family members of the 21 people killed during the attack.

The San Antonio Area Foundation also granted over $450,000 in the first round of funding from the Uvalde Strong Fund to assist with school programs, mental health services and family support in the Uvalde Community. The Uvalde Strong Fund raised an additional $1.6 Million.

The Uvalde Strong Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation has been pooled with the Uvalde Forever Fund of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country in order to best meet the needs of the Uvalde Community.
