President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have identified the 12 charities that they plan to donate $1 million to for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.
“The President and first lady witnessed the work of some of these groups first hand while visiting with hurricane survivors, first responders, volunteers and federal, state and local officials, and are proud to further assist the recovery efforts in Texas,” the White House said in a statement announcing the charities on Wednesday. “The President and First Lady continue to pray for the people of Texas and Louisiana.”
Here’s how much they plan to donate to each organization:
Reach out America: $100,000
Red Cross: $300,000
Salvation Army: $300,000
Samaritan’s Purse: $100,000
ASPCA: $25,000
Catholic Charities: $25,000
Direct Relief: $25,000

Trump visited Harvey evacuees at a Houston-area relief center on Saturday, and then traveled to Louisiana to thank National Guardsmen and members of the volunteer rescue collective known as the “Cajun Navy” in Lake Charles.
Then-candidate Trump donated $100,000 to Greenwell Springs Baptist Church and a truckload of supplies after catastrophic floods swept across the Baton Rouge area and other parts of South Louisiana last fall.
