Taylor Swift first made her pledge in August. Two
months later, she has divided up her donation to Convoy of Hope, The Life of a
Single Mom and YWCA Greater Baton Rouge. The "Bad Blood" singer also
gifted $100,000 to Habitat for Humanity, which hopes to rebuild 100 homes in
Baton Rouge by the end of 2017, and donated $50,000 to greater Baton Rouge Food Bank in August.
"The generous donation from Taylor Swift
could not have come at a better time for our organization," reads a post
on YWCA Greater Baton Rouge's website. "These funds will
be put to great use as we continue working to restore our Early Head Start
facility that was damaged during the historic flooding last month, and continue
our critical work of providing access to high quality early childhood services.Thank you, Taylor Swift, and to all those at the Taylor Swift Foundation, for
your kindness and generosity in these challenging times."
Swift announced earlier in August that she would be donating $1
million to Louisiana flood relief, recalling how welcoming her fans were when
she visited the state during her 1989 World Tour last year.
"We began the World Tour in
Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home,"
she said. "The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out
of their own homes this week is heartbreaking."
