NEW DONOR PROGRAMMING

Earlier this year, as part of our partnership with clients and fundholders to improve the lives of Houstonians through strategic philanthropy, we launched a new series of programs called Advancing Impact Donor Learning Breakfasts. These programs are hosted monthly and feature various speakers and topics that aim to educate our clients and fundholders on ways to create a positive impact on community issues through networking with institutional experts and other donors at the Greater Houston Community Foundation. Based on interest in particular issue areas, we supplement these programs with visits to various nonprofits, allowing our clients and fundholders to understand better the organizations’ vital work and how they can engage in it.

Thank you to funders and experts from the field who came to speak at our programs. We appreciate you educating our donors, partners, and fundholders on how their philanthropy can positively impact your field. Here is a list of Advancing Impact Donor Learning Breakfasts we have hosted for our donors thus far in 2023!

Attendees discussed ways to fund and create a lasting impact on land and water conservation in Texas.
