Since 1937, Houston Endowment has been rooted in the success of Greater Houston. Houston Endowment is a perpetual, place-based, private foundation that exists to serve the people of Greater Houston. They are inspired by the legacy of their founders, Jesse H. and Mary Gibbs Jones, and moved by the pressing needs of the Houston community today. They work with fellow Houstonians to bring together the right expertise with the right funding and the right leadership to create meaningful change and expand opportunities for all. With anticipated funding of more than $1 billion over the next 10 years, they promise to stay in step with the needs of our ever-evolving, ever-rising city.
