Investing in Your Community

DISASTER RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY

As critical leaders, the Foundation is well-positioned to identify needs and invest in a validated network of nonprofit partners throughout the Greater Houston region. In the last 17 years, the Community Foundation has distributed more than $250M in grants to nonprofit partners supporting the recovery of hundreds of thousands of our neighbors. We have strong partnerships with the City of Houston, Harris County, United Way of Greater Houston, nonprofit organizations, and philanthropic leaders that help us respond quickly and efficiently during disaster-response efforts.

UNDERSTANDING HOUSTON

This collaborative regional-indicators initiative empowers people throughout Greater Houston to take informed action — individually and collectively — to build a region that provides everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential. Understandinghouston.org is a community resource making data on quality-of-life issues for Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties highly accessible to donors and community leaders seeking to understand Houston’s strengths, challenges, and progress over time. Through this initiative, the Community Foundation is connecting donors around a given issue, bringing the funding community together, and creating learning opportunities for our donors and others on critical community issues.

COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND

A new Fund that supports the Foundation’s community leadership initiatives and fuels new, strategic investments focused on building a more vibrant Houston region for all. Overseen by the Foundation’s Board of Directors, the Community Impact Fund will use data to identify issues, convene stakeholders and experts, and lead initiatives to positively impact our community’s greatest needs. The Fund will be a catalytic force for philanthropic impact – making a significant and meaningful difference in the lives of Houstonians through strategic grantmaking focused on pressing community needs.
