EcoFlow Strengthens Disaster Relief Efforts Through New Non-Profit Partnerships Ahead of Hurricane Season

In-kind donations to Convoy of Hope and Footprint Project deliver clean, reliable energy to communities in crisis
SEATTLE, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- EcoFlow, a leading portable power and eco-friendly energy solutions company, announces the expansion of its disaster relief efforts through new collaborations with non-profits Project Footprint and Convoy of Hope.
EcoFlow has so far donated more than $50,000 worth of its portable power stations and solar panels, including flagships DELTA Pro 3, DELTA Pro and DELTA 2 models to the organizations. The company remains committed to further collaborations with its partners as the U.S. enters hurricane season and the federal government predicting up to 19 named hurricanes and five major hurricanes.
The donations will provide clean, reliable energy to help first responders and affected communities stay connected with the power grids fail. They mark a significant expansion of EcoFlow's "Power for Rescue" campaign, which delivers renewable energy to disaster-stricken areas to support frontline recovery efforts.
New Orleans-based Footprint Project works to deploy off-grid, mobile solar generators for community-based disaster relief and recovery efforts. They also educate communities on how solar power can be used to build disaster resilience.
"We're proud to partner with EcoFlow to deliver sustainable response technology when and where it's needed most," said Jamie Swezey, Program Director at Footprint Project. "EcoFlow's sustainable technology will help us to not only power critical relief operations during disasters but also train communities to build long-term resilience."
Convoy of Hope, based in Springfield, Mo., is a faith-based organization providing food supplies, and humanitarian services to impoverished or otherwise vulnerable populations throughout the world, including communities affected by disasters.
"We at Convoy of Hope are incredibly grateful to share our recent partnership and collaboration with EcoFlow," said Convoy of Hope Vice President of Public Engagement Ethan Forhetz. "Their generous donation of generators will help equip our Disaster Services team to service communities and families."
Powering Relief, Restoring Hope
When disaster strikes, power becomes a lifeline. Whether charging a phone to reach loved ones, keeping medical devices running, powering a satellite link or simply lighting a darkened shelter, access to dependable power brings relief and emotional reassurance. This is the driving force behind EcoFlow's "Power for Rescue" initiative, which operates under the company's broader corporate social responsibility program " Power for All."
Since its launch, "Power for Rescue" has partnered with multiple frontline organizations around the world to ensure critical energy support reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.
EcoFlow partnered with the Special Forces Charitable Trust in the wake of Hurricane Helene in September and donated portable power stations to vulnerable North Carolina households during recovery. In preparation for future emergencies, the company collaborated with the nonprofit Red Lightning to preposition portable power stations and solar panels in Florida.
EcoFlow went on to respond to the devastating wildfires in Southern California earlier this year by supporting first responders with portable power solutions and essential supplies. The company provided power solutions and comfort items to evacuees from the Eaton Fire in Altadena, Calif., enabling families to charge their devices and power critical equipment in shelters with limited access to electricity.
Meanwhile, EcoFlow's collaboration with Footprint Project is already delivering community-level impact as its donated products supported a hands-on workshop training local responders in solar and microgrid tech to enhance community resilience ahead of the hurricane season.
To make these types of solutions more accessible, the company will be offering a selection of its emergency-ready power stations such as DELTA Pro Ultra, DELTA Pro 3 and more at discounted prices during the upcoming Prime Day.
About EcoFlow Power For Rescue
"EcoFlow Power For Rescues" is a program under EcoFlow's corporate social responsibility initiative, EcoFlow Power For All, dedicated to providing rescue power. Its motto is "Always Reliable. Anywhere. Anytime." During emergencies such as the 2023 Hawaii wildfires in the USA, the 2023 Morocco earthquake, the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan, and the 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods in Brazil, this program provided reliable, flexible, and clean power support to rescue agencies, affected hospitals, and shelters.

AIMCo seeks new CIO amid push to expand Calgary office

Article content Alberta Investment Management Corp. is hunting for a new chief investment officer as it carries out an overhaul that began last year when the provincial government fired the board and its top executive. Article content The new CIO would be based in Calgary, the largest city in Alberta and the home of Canada's major oil and gas companies. Edmonton-based Aimco is considering both internal and external candidates, according to people familiar with the matter, asking not to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. Article content Article content Article content Four people held the CIO title at Aimco in less than four years. The most recent, Marlene Puffer, departed in September. Article content Article content Aimco, which manages about $180 billion of pension capital and other money for the Canadian province, wants to increase its staff in Calgary to boost the city's financial sector. Newly appointed Chief Legal Officer John Walsh works out of the Calgary office, which has about 70 of Aimco's 680 employees. Article content 'The size of the team in Calgary has grown and we're looking for space to accommodate them,' Aimco spokesperson Carolyn Quick said. The firm is also changing its remote-work policy, requiring employees to work from the office three times a week starting in January, the people said. Article content Aimco's restructuring was set in motion on Nov. 7, when Alberta's finance minister sacked the board, Chief Executive Officer Evan Siddall and three other executives, saying they had allowed expenses to soar to unacceptable levels. Ray Gilmour was named interim CEO and Stephen Harper, the former Canadian prime minister, was installed as chair. Article content Article content Since then, the money manager's global expansion, championed by Siddall, has reversed. It shuttered its offices in New York and Singapore and parted ways with David Scudellari, its global head of private assets, and Kevin Bong, the executive who ran the Singapore office. Article content Last month, Aimco laid off around a dozen employees and decided to freeze around 25 vacant roles, according to one of the people. Earlier this year, Aimco eliminated 19 jobs, including the role responsible for the diversity, equity and inclusion program. Article content Aimco produced a 12.6% return last year in its balanced fund, missing its benchmark of 13.4%. Its total fund return was 12.3%. But the fund's results exceeded those of some peers in the so-called Maple Eight, such as Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which last year earned 8.3% and 9.4%, respectively.

Conservation group makes $60M land deal to end mining threat outside Okefenokee Swamp

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A conservation group said Friday it has reached a $60 million deal to buy land outside the Okefenokee Swamp from a mining company that environmentalists spent years battling over a proposed mine that opponents feared could irreparably damage an ecological treasure. The Conservation Fund said it will buy all 7,700 acres (31.16 square kilometers) that Alabama-based Twin Pines owns outside the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Georgia, halting the company's mining plans.
