WRONG. FEMA is federally funded. The organizations to which President Trump gave money are non-government organizations (NGOs) that provide disaster relief, but rely upon donations in order to be effective.

In this case:

Reach out America – $100,000
Red Cross – $300,000
Salvation Army – $300,000
Samaritan’s Purse – $100,000
ASPCA – $25,000
Catholic Charities – $25,000
Direct Relief – $25,000
Habitat for Humanity – $25,000
Houston Humane Society – $25,000
Operation Blessing – $25,000
Portlight Inclusive Disaster Strategies – $25,000
Team Rubicon – $25,000

And, the remark made by another poster that "He could have afforded more" is quite petty.
