Houston Endowment supports efforts that lead people toward lives of greater independence and fulfillment.

Comprehensive and collaborative human services are critical to the social support network that underlies a great city. They provide critical prevention, intervention, management and treatment strategies that assist people as they manage crises, overcome obstacles or achieve personal and professional goals.

The foundation supports a broad array of organizations and programs that provide for greater Houston’s most vulnerable populations, while assisting individuals, families and communities as they seek improved lives of greater independence, productivity and enjoyment.  Because it addresses so many different service offerings, the foundation has grouped them in the six categories described below.
