National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited (NCBJ), through its philanthropic arm, N.C.B. Foundation, aims to raise $300M for a Disaster Relief Fund to support those affected by Hurricane Beryl, the category 4 system which ravaged several parts of the island on July 03, 2024. The Foundation, working with other approved charitable organisations, will provide support to individuals and communities impacted by the hurricane. This will primarily assist with the restoration of homes and farmers’ crops in more severely damaged parishes such as St Elizabeth, Hanover and Manchester.

The Fund will be established with an initial pledge of $20 million from NCB. They will also solicit corporate and individual contributions for this vital cause. All donations received will be matched by NCB up to a maximum of $150 million.

"We are deeply concerned for our fellow Jamaicans who have suffered emotional and financial loss due to this hurricane. This Fund is an opportunity to provide a total of $300 million to help restore normalcy to their lives and communities. I therefore call on our customers, other corporate entities, the general public, and the diaspora to support this initiative so that we can double your donation – for every dollar you give, NCB will match it."

- Chairman of NCB Financial Group Limited (NCBFG), the Honourable Michael Lee-Chin
