Partners

The A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation has been a Team Rubicon partner since 2022 when they provided a transformational multimillion-dollar investment focused on leveraging the latent leadership of veterans to build a new program, the TRades Academy. This program aims to address the national trades gap our nation is facing. The TRades Academy will provide both veterans and civilians with the hard and soft skills they need for future employment, while also benefiting the people Team Rubicon serves by providing free and timely home rebuild services in the aftermath of a disaster.

In 2023, Ford Motor Company and Ford Philanthropy committed to supporting Team Rubicon for five years through vehicle donations, monetary investment, and Ford Pro fleet services. Ford chose to support Team Rubicon’s unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund because they trust our organization, believe in the mission, and know the importance of immediate support for disaster survivors.

Since 2013, Microsoft has played a critical role in Team Rubicon’s growth. As a pivotal and significant cash investor and in-kind supporter, Microsoft’s collaborative approach to innovation within the nonprofit space has led to transformative change for the people Team Rubicon serves. Thanks to Microsoft’s proactive support, Team Rubicon can continue to develop as a data-driven and technological leader within the disaster and nonprofit sectors.

In 2022, Team Rubicon received a transformational, unrestricted one-time multi-million dollar gift from MacKenzie Scott through the National Philanthropic Trust. Her generous contribution has fortified our commitment to trust-based philanthropy, an approach that aligns perfectly with our values and mission. Scott’s donation not only provides substantial financial support but also embodies a profound level of trust in our organization’s ability to make a meaningful difference in disaster response and community resilience. This infusion of resources without restrictions empowers us to allocate funds where and when they are most needed, so we can adapt swiftly to evolving challenges and prioritize initiatives that resonate with the communities we serve.

The Home Depot Foundation is Team Rubicon’s longest continuous corporate partner, having donated annually for over a decade in support of our unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund and Rebuild program. Home Depot associates consistently volunteer in times of crises and impact communities nationwide.

A significant investor in Team Rubicon’s mission since 2015, The Marcus Foundation, Inc. shares one of TR’s primary goals: to increase volunteer access to health and wellness services and to increase community access to TR’s localized disaster services. With consistent and year-over-year support, The Marcus Foundation, Inc. continues to play a pivotal role in TR’s successful growth and widespread accomplishments.

T-Mobile’s Home Runs for Hurricane Recovery (#HR4HR) campaigns, in partnership with the Major League Baseball Playoffs and World Series, have generated millions of dollars and captured the attention of hundreds of millions of fans since 2017. This omnichannel campaign leverages T-Mobile’s sponsorship of MLB to drive fan and audience awareness of those affected by natural disasters.

Since 2015, Team Rubicon has been a grantee and strategic partner of Travelers. As a long-term unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund partner, Travelers has fueled the full spectrum of TR’s capabilities across the disaster cycle. Today, Travelers and TR are working together to scale TR’s ability to deliver low-attention disaster rebuild services using FORTIFIED and resilient building standards.

Under Armour Freedom has partnered with and supported Team Rubicon since 2017 when founder Kevin Plank visited our Hurricane Harvey operations. Fast forward to 2022, UA became the founding corporate partner of our International program, helping us to build capacity, bring on new talent, and expand our humanitarian capabilities.
UA is also responsible for the development of TR’s Mobile Locker Rooms – a vital component to our COVID operations – and is a cornerstone partner for our unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund which fuels response and operations 365 days a year. Their trust in our mission bleeds through every facet of this partnership and enables TR to help people prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and humanitarian crises at scale.

USAA and the USAA Foundation have supported Team Rubicon since early in our organizational history in 2014. USAA is a key partner supporting through many avenues including through the unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund, incremental disaster response support, and workplace giving to further our mission. Our collective service of—and alongside—those who served is what makes this partnership a success.

The Wells Fargo Foundation has been a Team Rubicon partner since 2020, generously supporting the unrestricted Ready Reserve Fund, enabling readiness, and powering responses before, during, and after disaster strikes. In addition, Wells Fargo has donated several vehicles to our fleet, fueling the mission across the United States.
