Philanthropy builds our community

and it changes lives

East Texas Communities Foundation supports philanthropy by offering simple ways for donors to achieve their charitable goals.

The number of charitable funds, the collective assets in those funds and the grant dollars distributed from those funds have all established positive long-term growth trends.
