About HOUSTON JUNIOR FORUM ENDOWMENT FUND INC

Houston Junior Forum Endowment Fund, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) endowment established in 1983 to invest and steward gifts that specifically support the programs and charitable purposes of the Houston Junior Forum, Inc. It functions as a dedicated fund and board of trustees whose distributions provide long-term, sustainable financial backing to the volunteer organization’s scholarship and community grant programs. The endowment maintains significant net assets (reported near $1.9 million on the most recent Form 990) and provides regular financial support to Houston Junior Forum activities including scholarships, community grants, and program expansions. It acts as a donor-facing vehicle for legacy gifts and investment income intended to preserve HJF’s capacity to serve the Houston community over time. In recent years the endowment has supported program growth and new initiatives by Houston Junior Forum, including the organization’s 2024 launch of the "Daily Essentials – Everyday Confidence" program and expansion of its college scholarship eligibility for the 2024–2025 award cycle. The endowment’s grants and investment income are an ongoing funding source for HJF’s community impact work.
