About HAY CENTER FOUNDATION

HAY Center Foundation is a Houston-based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports The HAY Center's programs for current and former foster youth (typically ages 14–25). The Foundation provides funding for housing, workforce training, education supports, transition coaching and life-skills services that help youth move to stable, independent adulthood. The Foundation operates as a public/private partner with Harris County and other local funders, and it raises private philanthropic dollars to fill gaps in public funding. In recent years the Foundation has supported development planning for a dedicated HAY Center Campus and provided increased grant support for workforce, housing and education programs.
