The Bayou Collective

State of Black Philanthropy: Houston Edition

What does it mean to give, with intention, in the Black community?

Join us for an evening of honest conversation, real connection, and community inspiration. The Bayou Collective is bringing together some of Houston's most respected voices in philanthropy, policy, and community development for a night that will leave you thinking differently about what giving can do.

This event is free, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.  

We expect this event to fill up so if your plans change, please update your RSVP so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.

Whether you've been giving for years or you're just curious about how a dollar can turn into real change in your neighborhood, this evening is for you.
