An important priority of Houston Methodist is to grow the hospital's endowment.  Endowed funds are a powerful financial tool that enables philanthropic contributions to have a deeply rooted, enduring impact.

Instead of being immediately spent, endowed funds are held in a managed account, where the corpus of the gift grows in value over time.  A percentage of the funds (usually 5%) are spun off each year to support designated program and activities.  In this way, endowed funds provide steady, reliable funding in perpetuity.

Through the generosity of friends of Houston Methodist, we are excited to provide a multitude of opportunities for giving. For more information on these initiatives visit:
