Creating Texas-Sized Social Impact
Event partners: Houston Endowment, Philanthropy Southwest and Social Venture Partners Dallas
“Creating Texas-Sized Social Impact” highlighted social impact approaches that can unite communities and philanthropic organizations to increase opportunity for low-income Texans.
To create the greatest possible impact in addressing social issues like financial well-being, education and health, funders must invest strategically and collaboratively. This convening brought together grantmakers from across Texas to explore investment approaches that go beyond traditional philanthropy to maximize impact and strengthen existing systems. Speakers included regional and national funders and social impact organizations.
