It was reported that United Way Worldwide has announced the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund that 'will distribute 100 per cent of donations for recovery in the affected areas, community by community, in the months and years ahead.'
And, the inaugural donation has been made by Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation - of USD 1 million, reports E! Online.
Brian Gallagher, the President and CEO of United Way Worldwide, shared, "We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of Leonardo DiCaprio and his foundation. Responding to Hurricane Harvey requires the best of all of us -- and that's what this gift represents."
