Professional Advisor Council Launches in Houston

Amplifying Philanthropic Impact Together

We’re proud to announce the launch of Greater Houston Community Foundation’s (Foundation) Professional Advisor Council—an important step in deepening our partnership with the trusted advisors who guide our community’s most generous individuals and families. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to meaningful, lasting philanthropy and to supporting advisors as they help clients align their wealth with their values. 

The Professional Advisor Council (PAC) is a strategic partnership that connects trusted professional advisors—financial planners, attorneys, wealth managers and others—closer to the heart of our community’s needs and opportunities for giving. Through this partnership, we aim to equip advisors with tools, insights, and strategies to help their clients give with purpose and confidence. 

Welcome, New PAC Members! 

Our excitement for the PAC stems from our belief in the transformative power of collaboration—when advisors and the Foundation work together, we can unlock greater philanthropic potential and drive lasting, positive change for the causes that matter most. Together, we can help more individuals and families make a lasting difference. 

Join us in welcoming the following prestigious members of the inaugural Professional Advisor Council: 

Empowering Advisors to Integrate Charitable Giving 

The core purpose of the PAC is to support advisors in seamlessly integrating charitable planning into their everyday practices. We understand the vital role advisors play in shaping their clients’ financial journeys, and we’re here to elevate that work by making charitable planning a natural and effective part of it.  

Through the PAC, advisors gain access to a network for knowledge sharing, professional growth, and collaborative dialogue. This partnership will enable advisors to stay informed about emerging issues, innovative trends in philanthropy, and new pathways for impactful charitable giving. 

Building a Community of Like-Minded Philanthropic Professionals 

The PAC isn’t just about professional growth—it’s about building a network of like-minded professionals committed to creating change. It’s a space for exchanging ideas, exploring innovative planning approaches, and forming meaningful relationships that extend beyond individual client engagements. 

Your Philanthropic Partner 

At the Foundation, we’re here to be your philanthropic resource, offering guidance, tools, and a trusted platform to support your clients’ goals.  Whether helping structure a noncash gift, identifying local impact opportunities, or navigating family legacy conversations, we are your partner in creating charitable solutions that matter. 

The launch of the PAC is just the beginning of a shared journey—grounded in community, guided by generosity, and driven by a commitment to lasting impact.
