This partnership means that The Diana Foundation’s mission of supporting Houston’s LGBTQ+ community will not only continue, but will grow stronger with time. By investing in a permanent endowment fund managed through TPCF, we are ensuring that the earnings from this fund will fuel our charitable work year after year—while the principal remains protected for the future.
“We are delighted to partner with Texas Pride Community Foundation to invest our resources alongside LGBTQ+ funds across the state,” said Tanner Williams, President of The Diana Foundation. “Together, we will build a lasting funding source so The Diana Foundation can continue its mission of supporting Houston’s LGBTQ+ community. For 73 years, The Diana Foundation has been America’s oldest active LGBTQ+ nonprofit, and this endowment ensures our impact will endure well into the future.”
Texas Pride Community Foundation, a statewide philanthropic leader, echoed the excitement of this milestone.
“We’re proud to partner with The Diana Foundation—one of the nation’s oldest LGBTQ+ organizations—as they establish their Agency Fund with the Texas Pride Community Foundation,” said Ron Guillard, Executive Director of TPCF. “Alongside our new Donor Advised Fund offering, this milestone reflects how TPCF is expanding our role as the statewide LGBTQ+ community foundation. These new funds strengthen nonprofits and provide donors across Texas with meaningful ways to invest in the bold, local work advancing LGBTQ+ impact in communities large and small.”
What’s Next: A 2026 Giving Campaign
The next step in this exciting journey will be the launch of a major giving campaign in 2026. This campaign will invite members, friends, and supporters to contribute through one-time gifts, multi-year pledges, or legacy commitments to help grow the endowment’s principal. Together, we can build a powerful, lasting source of support for Houston’s LGBTQ+ nonprofits.
