Funding Challenges

The Health Foundation of East Texas is rooted in the belief that early action drives long-term, transformational change. Our focus is on improving youth mental wellness, strengthening resilience and fostering a thriving community for generations to come.

To do this we combine strategic grant-making and on-the-ground, iterative work to address the causes of health challenges rather than their symptoms. By uniting key community stakeholders, we co-create solutions that empower future East Texans to thrive mentally and physically. Like the East Texas Piney Woods that surround us, we show that lasting change grows from strong roots.
