The Future Fund encourages the next generation of philanthropists in our community.

Young professionals in the Gulf Coast region are invited to contribute $100 or more to the fund. The group then decides, together, which organizations to support with those pooled charitable dollars.

The more people who contribute, the greater the potential impact. Plus, every donor gets a vote on how the money will be used!

Learn more about the Future Fund and how you can get involved.



Future Funders, it’s time to vote!

All members who contributed to the Future Fund by May 31 are now helping to award our first grant.

Through surveys, you chose education as your philanthropic priority. You also told us you care deeply about the arts and human services.

The Foundation identified four local nonprofit projects that match those interests, and you have narrowed you choice to two organizations. Visit our Future Fund Grant Recommendations page to learn more about these finalists and how to cast your vote!

What happens after we award our first grant?

The Future Fund is about cultivating philanthropy's future. We want to hear more about your goals for your community, and we will share the Foundation’s knowledge of local needs and strong nonprofits that can help meet them.
