The Community Impact Fund supports:

Understanding Houston

A regional indicators project providing community leaders with credible data on various topics. The analysis and articles on UnderstandingHouston.org illuminate critical issues in the region to inform decision-making and reflect our commitment to using quantitative and qualitative data, evidence, and innovative ideas to invest in.

HIGH-IMPACT GRANTMAKING

Data collected from Understanding Houston will fuel new strategic investments in high-impact initiatives addressing a pressing challenge or need in the community to build a more vibrant Houston region. With a strategic lens and through the support of our generous donor community, we can support our neighbors more deeply to tackle growing and shifting needs.

Greater Houston Disaster Alliance

Today, the Foundation continues its 15-year history of impact in disaster recovery. The Greater Houston Disaster Alliance (Disaster Alliance), launched in May 2023, is an action-focused initiative powered by Greater Houston Community Foundation and United Way of Greater Houston. The Disaster Alliance will build a broader tent of partners and solidify a hub of activity focused on disaster preparedness and resiliency year-round for our region.
