To be eligible to receive funding from Houston Endowment, an organization should drive our strategic priorities: Arts and Parks, Civic Engagement, and PreK-12 Public Education.

Arts and Parks: We support efforts to maintain and strengthen the robustness of our local arts and cultural organizations – from world recognized institutions to emerging organizations. We also support efforts toward enhancing community connectivity through greenspaces.
Civic Engagement: We support a robust democracy, strong civic integration of immigrants, and independent local journalism.
PreK-12 Public Education: We believe teachers are critically important and aim to strengthen the pipeline of well-prepared and supported teachers. In addition, we support initiatives that develop and sustain high quality schools that are accessible to all families.
