Serving the Houston–Galveston Region
What We Do
HPC brings philanthropists together through dinners, nonprofit symposia, and giving circles, all in a no-pressure environment that respects each philanthropist’s privacy.
Philanthropist Dinners
Our first Philanthropist Dinner took place in April 2019. These dinners are an opportunity for like-minded philanthropists to socialize and share their experiences and visions for philanthropy in Houston.
Nonprofit Symposium
Our annual nonprofit symposia allow philanthropists to get to know a large number of faith-based nonprofits all in one day in a no-pressure environment — a safe space for philanthropists and nonprofit representatives alike.
Giving Circles
Focused gatherings on the issues facing our city — from community mental health to human trafficking — where experts and funders explore what meaningful solutions look like in practice.
University of St. Thomas
Our Nonprofit Symposia
We hosted our first Nonprofit Symposium at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas which was highly successful and brought together philanthropists with 24 faith-based non-profits presenting their mission in areas of Education, Healthcare, Family & Faith and Social Services & Resiliency.
While partnering with many philanthropic groups, our mission is to bring more philanthropists together to make a transformative difference in these nonprofits who are reaching out to the underserved in the Houston–Galveston region.
