TEJAS FOUNDATION
OPERATING ENDOWMENT
Alongside the Tejas Club’s upcoming 100th anniversary, the Foundation is pleased to announce that we have established the Tejas Foundation’s first-ever endowment with the Texas Exes, The Tejas Foundation Operating Endowment. The endowment will support operating costs of the Tejas Foundation establishing a path to sustainability for the Club and Foundation for another 100 years. Gifts may be pledged over a period of five years and are tax-deductible.
THE 1925 FOUNDERS CIRCLE recognizes the philanthropic impact of the endowment’s first benefactors who give $10,000 or more in pledges and contributions this year.
THE CENTENNIAL SOCIETY celebrates a select group of 1925 Founders Circle members who give $100,000 or more. Gifts at both levels will be acknowledged publicly on the Tejas Foundation’s website, unless otherwise noted.
Ways to give
The Texas Exes accepts a variety of gifts such as cash, stocks, IRA gifts, QCDs, and estate-related gifts. Please contact Laura Nettleton for gifts not made online. Gifts may be pledged over a period of five years and are tax-deductible.

Amplify your impact
Here’s a powerful way for your gift to make a greater impact, today. When you make a gift of $10,000 or more to the Tejas Foundation Operating Endowment, you will qualify for the STEVE PARSONS TEJAS CLUB MEMORIAL CHALLENGE and an additional 10% will be added to your gift (while funds last). It’s a bonus gift that costs you nothing!
“Recently, I lost my husband, Steve, to cancer. The shock and pain of that is harder than anything I have ever experienced, but one thing that has helped is the tremendous outpouring of love from the Tejas Club family. Over the years, Steve became good friends with many of the members both old and new, the Club voted to make Steve the eighth Honorary Member in its history. It was obvious to me that the best way to honor Steve was to do something for our Tejas family, and so I have created a challenge grant that includes not only a current gift but also a legacy commitment. I hope you will join me in doing the same to honor not only Steve but all of those who have meant so much to us. May the fires of friendship forever burn.”
