Catholic Charities to distribute $3.5 million in grants to North Florida

Help, and a lot of cash, is on the way to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill victims in North Florida.

Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida, a social ministry of the Catholic Church, has been selected by the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors to administer a $3.5 million fund that will assist local residents who were financially, emotionally or physically injured by the spill. The fund was created by an anonymous donation to the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
