What We’re Funding

Our financial model relies primarily on our endowment as the source of our operating expenses, supplemented by program revenues from our three fee-based programs. The endowment has been growing since the Foundation’s inception in the early 1930s, with greater growth in recent years due to the ongoing generosity of the Butt family. These gifts, combined with support from donors and capital campaigns, enable our programs to grow and thrive.

Where the River Turns to Roads

Frio River water flows from the chill of Blue Hole at Headwaters to the warmth of the Echo Valley waterfront and beyond. Our work also changes as it flows from Real County to San Antonio and beyond. But it’s always driven by our mission: to cultivate wholeness in people and institutions for the transformation of communities.

Living Into Our Mission 2018

In recent years, Deborah and David Rogers have articulated a fresh mission for the Foundation, one that lays out not just our reason for being, but our key focus areas, our values, and the overall shape of our work. This mission is rooted in our historic legacy, our core commitments, and our faith.
