Members of our team are proud to serve on the Corporate Guild.
Periwinkle Foundation

The Periwinkle Foundation enriches the lives of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses through camping and recreational programs. Since 1996, The Houstonian has underwritten the annual "Cycle for Life” event held at the Club, providing the facility and staff for the half-day competitive cycling event. The event raises funds to send underserved children to camp. Thirty-five teams of five participants each collect donations on the calories riders burn throughout the day.

The Spindletop Golf Tournament is the world’s largest energy-industry charitable golf tournament, held annually in Houston to raise funds for charities serving at-risk youth and families. Nearly 300 executives and leaders representing Fortune 500 energy, oil, and gas corporations gather for two days of golf to raise funds for Spindletop Community Impact Partners. The Houstonian Cook Team proudly volunteers, bringing friendly smiles and our best grilled and smoked meats from the Big Sam BBQ pit.
Pathways for Little Feet

Pathways for Little Feet

Pathways for Little Feet was established in 2008 and is dedicated to bringing families together by overcoming the financial barriers to adoption. Each spring, The Houstonian underwrites the Little Plates Chef Competition. The cost of adoption or fostering a child is a barrier that can seem like a mountain to overcome for families, and Pathways' goal is to provide assistance through counseling, therapy, and adoption grants.
First Responder Initiatives

First Responder Initiatives

The Houstonian is strongly committed to the community and has profound respect for all those on the front lines working to protect us all. The Houstonian spread a message of positivity and kindness during the pandemic by carefully packaging hundreds of meals for first responders and our surrounding neighbors. The Houstonian also hosts "Coffee with a Cop," a Houston Police Department initiative to bring the community together.
Contribution Guidelines

Contribution Guidelines

In accordance with our philanthropic guidelines, we limit contributions to a select number of nonprofit organizations each year. Our giving priorities are focused on those whose core mission and programming directly support critically ill, underserved, or resource-insecure children and their families, as well as first responders within the Houston area.

As we receive dozens of requests for school and school-based fundraisers, we generally do not give monetary or in-kind sponsorship for these types of events.

If you would like to personally contribute to your event with a gift from The Houstonian, we would be happy to assist you in purchasing a flat-amount gift card. Our gift cards come beautifully packaged in our signature bag and may be used for hotel stays, dining, or spa services. To purchase, please contact our Reservations Department at 713-685-6810.
We can arrange for pickup or mail the gift card to your preferred address.
