Donors Making a Difference
“My donor advised fund at Greater Houston Community Foundation is more than a legal structure – they are my philanthropic partner. I have also found value in Greater Houston Community Foundation’s flexibility and offering of custom solutions. For example, the Foundation allows my trusted financial advisor to manage the donor advised fund investment portfolio. Most of all, I appreciate Greater Houston Community Foundation’s willingness to explore innovative ways to help me achieve meaningful impact.”
