Dennis W. Holder Scholarship Fund

The Dennis W. Holder Scholarship Fund is a 501(c)(3) public charity established in 1998 that provides higher-education scholarships to children and grandchildren (biological or adopted) of paid firefighters serving the City of Houston and Harris County, Texas. The organization operates a donor-facing scholarship program with an online application and donation portal and reports regular annual Form 990 filings; it maintains an office presence in the Houston/Humble area and a P.O. Box for mail donations. In recent years the fund has continued steady operations: fiscal-year totals reported for 2022–2024 show annual revenues in the low-to-mid six figures and total net assets in the mid-six-figure range, and the organization states it has awarded more than 6,700 scholarships totaling nearly $5 million over its history.
