According to CBS News, the ONE Bahamas Fund will “support a wide range of immediate recovery needs and important long-term rebuilding initiatives required in the country … including a focus on shelter (temporary and low-cost housing), living necessities (clothing, food and communication devices), educational support (scholarships, transportation costs and supplies), community (aiding in the design and development of infrastructure needs), and seed funding for Bahamian businesses.”
Royal Bank of Canada, LEXUS Luxury Collection, and Albany – a luxury resort in the Bahamas – are also participating in the fundraiser.
