The Houston Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks (CFO), supports work that improves quality of life for individuals in Houston. Its flexible community grantmaking program responds to the community’s most important needs as they change, rather than focusing on a single subject area. Local priorities guide the work supported through this program.
The foundation is governed by a board of directors selected for their knowledge of the area, with grant decisions made by its grant committee. Support comes from donors who establish unrestricted or field-of-interest funds and entrust local community leaders with decisions about their use, alongside dollars raised by the Houston Community Foundation.
