COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND
What is the Community Impact Fund? As Houston continues to evolve, so does the Foundation. As we look to the future, our focus includes Community Impact, ultimately leveraging our local knowledge, convening power, and collective resources to help create a better future for all Houstonians.
The Foundation has built deep relationships for nearly 30 years by honoring donor intent and igniting meaningful change with our clients. We help grow effective philanthropy by connecting donors to the causes they care about and providing excellent stewardship of assets entrusted to us. Our Community Impact Fund expands our collective reach to fuel new, more strategic investments to make Houston a more vibrant region for all. Currently, the Foundation is raising funds needed to sustainably maintain and support our Community Impact Fund initiatives through a two-year fundraising strategy, moving toward an Annual Giving Program in 2025.
We’ve raised more than $1.1 million for the Community Impact Fund in 2023 thanks to the generosity of:
Patti, Richard, and Jenny Everett
Cullen K. Geiselman
Charlene and Tym Tombar
Chris and Sarah Weekley
Randa and K.C. Weiner
This is the list of Founding Supporters of the Community Impact Fund as of June 30, 2023.
