Greater Houston Community Foundation

Greater Houston Community Foundation (GHCF) is a nonprofit community foundation that helps people, families, businesses, and professional advisors give money to causes they care about in the Houston area. Founded in 1995, GHCF offers tools like donor advised funds, family giving circles, legacy giving plans, and scholarship funds to make charitable giving easier and more effective. The foundation also works with corporations to support their community investment goals and helps private foundations and nonprofits across the region. GHCF has played a major role in disaster relief efforts, helping manage large funds after Hurricane Harvey, Winter Storm Uri, and the COVID-19 pandemic. It also leads the Understanding Houston initiative, which provides data to help community leaders make smart decisions about things like housing, education, and economic opportunity.
