Our Story
NexPoint Philanthropies is rooted in a strong commitment to expanding opportunity and empowering those who create lasting change. Our mission is to support bold, high-impact individuals and organizations that value merit , innovation, and community. With a focus on North Texas and the communities where we operate, we uplift those working to build brighter, more equitable futures.
We believe progress happens when vision meets action and resources are directed with purpose. That’s why we invest not only funding, but also our time, talent, and connections into causes that demonstrate courage and catalytic potential. We seek out opportunities others may overlook and step in where entrepreneurial enthusiasm and support are needed most.
Our vision is a future where communities thrive because people have access to tools and opportunities to succeed. From sciences to economic development to civic engagement, we align with efforts that inspire growth and create impact far beyond a single moment or initiative.
At NexPoint Philanthropies, we measure success not by recognition, but by the change we help create. We’re guided by the belief that we can always do more—together—and aim to be a trusted partner in building solutions that matter, now and for generations to come.
Our Mission
Nexpoint Philanthropies exists to empower bold, high-impact organizations and individuals that expand opportunity, champion meritocracy, and create future leaders—particularly in North Texas and the communities where we operate—by leveraging time, talent, and resources to innovative solutions that others often overlook.
