Official fundraiser
Disaster Relief For Independent Community Pharmacies
Since 1953, the NCPA Foundation has provided disaster aid to independent community pharmacies. 100% of all dollars given to the disaster relief fund go directly to supporting independent community pharmacies. The NCPA Foundation Disaster Relief Fund was established to provide financial assistance to independent community pharmacy owners throughout the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. The fund helps pharmacies recover when impacted by a disaster (i.e. hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, tornadoes, etc.) or a catastrophic event (i.e. property damage due to civil unrest or terrorist attack, business interruption or store closure due to pandemic, water crises, etc.). Aside from insurance and governmental assistance, there is little support for independent pharmacies in times of disaster and often this support takes a long time to reach the pharmacy.
