Houston Texans Foundation
 Mission statement: The mission of the Houston Texans Foundation is to be Champions for Youth. We believe that youth are the champions of our future, and in accordance with that belief we support and administer programs in education, character development and health and fitness to enable the development of the next generation of youth champions in Houston and the surrounding areas.
- The Houston Texans Foundation does not make any monetary donations. Donations will be given in the form of merchandise only.
- Unfortunately, the Houston Texans Foundation's financial contributions already have been committed for the year and the Foundation will not make any additional financial contributions due to the large demand from many deserving organizations. The Foundation also limits its financial contributions to those groups in the Greater Houston area.
HOUSTON TEXANS AND YMCA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
 In 2008, the Houston Texans Foundation raised more than $450,000 in support of youth organizations in Houston. Since its inception in 2002, nearly $2 million has been raised to benefit youth and families in our area through the Houston Texans YMCA, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Houston and other organizations supported by the Houston Texans Foundation.
In 2007, the Houston Texans and the Greater Houston YMCA announced a partnership to open a new YMCA facility in the Palm Center community of Third Ward. The facility, located at the corner of Griggs Road and Martin Luther King Boulevard, will replace the existing South Central YMCA.
The new Houston Texans YMCA will be the first YMCA facility in the country to be named after a professional sports team. The partnership combines two powerful and influential names that will benefit the Greater Third Ward community by providing programs including health and wellness, childcare, recreation and youth development programs.
