We plan to bring together the best minds, hearts, ideas, and evidence to make a collective community investment that leads to a lasting impact. This innovative annual grantmaking opportunity is led by a committee of diverse experts consisting of Houston’s philanthropic, nonprofit, civic, and business leaders who bring a unique perspective on a pressing community need, allowing our Foundation donors and partners to invest in solutions with catalytic impact.
Data will be used to identify issues, convene stakeholders and experts, and lead initiatives to positively impact our community’s greatest needs objectively, fairly, and efficiently. We will select our first issue area for collaborative action grantmaking by the end of 2023. Listening to trusted partners and community residents, we are narrowing down which issue area to focus on by exploring the Foundation’s potential for meaningful impact.
