Invest in a student's future today!
Make a tax-deductible donation today and become a proud supporter of Houston's success!
Success in education not only guarantees a future for students but the positive growth of business and community. To continue our support of education in Houston's East End we depend on valuable donations from people like you.
Next Gen Access is about more than technology, it’s about opportunity.
As part of the Houston East End Chamber of Commerce’s 35th Anniversary, we’re launching an initiative to equip high school seniors with the tools they need to succeed in college and beyond.
With $35,000 in matching funds, thanks to Shawn and Wendy Montoya Cloonan, we’re expanding access to laptops and scholarships for students who need it most.
Nearly 40% of college students are first-generation, and many face barriers to accessing basic technology. Together, we can help bridge that gap.
Join us in investing in the next generation. Give at $35, $350, or $3,500 and be part of a student’s success story.
Every gift powers a dream. Every student deserves a chance.
