The Initiative

Together, we are measuring what matters to do what matters. 


Understanding Houston is a collaborative initiative led by the Greater Houston Community Foundation to empower us all with the information we need to act — individually and collectively — to build a Houston region that provides everyone the opportunity to reach their full potential.


We believe informed, collaborative action across sectors can be a powerful force in making Houston a more vibrant and equitable region.
