BNI Cares: About Texas

Donation protected
BNI Friends & Family,
Hurricane Harvey has had a devastating impact on much of Southern Texas.  We have over 1,400 BNI Members in 55 chapters in the most affected areas.

BNI has launched BNI Cares: About Texas – a two phase support program for our Members as they restore their communities and businesses in the days and months ahead. 

In Phase 1, which runs through September 15th, we are coordinating an immediate fundraising drive  to help BNI Members most affected by Hurricane Harvey to get back on their feet and back to business.  Affected Members will be asked to apply for a BNI Back-to-Business Grant - our goal is that these grants will be specifically focused on helping BNI Members get through the immediate situation and get their businesses back up and running. If you would like to support BNI Members in Texas, please join us in making a donation today.

In Phase 2, which will begin as roads become accessible, we’ll be visiting on the ground with BNI Members in the affected areas to see how we can get their businesses back in operation .  As business leaders, BNI Members play a very important role in getting their communities back to normalcy. If our Members are ready for referrals, we’ll work to get them referrals.  And there are many other ways we can help.

BNI is a family.  And families pull together when times get tough.  Times are especially tough right now for BNI Members in Southern Texas.  Their road to recovery will be long, but BNI will stand beside them at every step of the way. 

Yours in BNI,
Graham P.  Weihmiller, Chairman & CEO of BNI


Note: Impacted members in TX have applied for a Back-to-Business Grant; Collectively, with our Executive Directors in those regions, BNI Global is reviewing each application and will be notifying members the week of September 18th if they will receive a grant. BNI's CFO, Michael Walchonski, will be set as the beneficiary  to this account and will then wire grants to each member directly.
