Nurturing our communities benefits everyone\u2014not only now but for generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout our history, we\u2019ve supported a significant number of nonprofit organizations. Our main focus is to serve our local communities through involvement in the United Way. We also support 501c3s in four primary areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Health and Human Wellness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>STEM and Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family and Youth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diversity and Inclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just about giving money. Being a valued community partner also means rolling up our sleeves to get to know our neighbors, their needs and how we can work together to build a better future. Whether assisting science students who needed help going to a state competition, donating money to a center that provides educational opportunities for children to learn about the environment or aiding conservation efforts in south Texas, we\u2019re active contributors in our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partner Agency Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe our financial support and volunteer services make the biggest impact when we invest larger gifts in select organizations. Our \u201cPartner Agency\u201d giving program allows us to build longer-term partnerships and help meet the needs within our giving priorities in a more meaningful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this new giving program, partner agencies are selected for a three-year rotating partnership through which we contribute:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>our largest gift in year one (up to $20,000)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>year-two gift (up to $10,000)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and year-three gift (up to $5,000)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Community Outreach committee selects partner agencies through an online application process available July 1 through August 31 each year. Partner agencies will be notified on or before October 31st. Our 2026 Partner Agency application will open on July 1, 2025 and close on August 31, 2025.
