2024 Impact Report

Embracing Change, Preserving Purpose

For 84 years, we’ve supported our vision that all Texans thrive in communities that promote mental health and well-being. The places where people live, learn, work, play, and pray have an impact on improving mental health. It is our mission to transform how communities promote mental health in everyday life.

This report offers a glimpse into the last two years in the life of Texas’s premier mental health funder, as well as a look at a few of the dynamic individuals and organizations who have contributed to our success. 

All numbers on the report are from the biennium of September 2022 – August 2024.

A Royal Visit

We hosted Queen Maxima of the Netherlands along with members of the Austin and Bastrop communities. This extraordinary event was a one-day summit on youth mental health, and included team members from Resilient Bastrop County, a Hogg Foundation grantee partner.

A New Podcast

Our new podcast, Mind of Texas,  launched in partnership with KUT and KUTX Studios. The six-episode series explored the shape of mental health in Texas, with an emphasis on community voices.

A Return to Hogg

After university restructuring, we welcomed the Texas Grants Resource Center back to Hogg. TGRC serves as a bridge between the grant-seeking and the grant-making communities, providing information, training, and technical assistance for both nonprofit organizations and individuals.

 

Global Networking

Hogg program officers Tammy Heinz and Rick Ybarra and executive director Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr. went to the Netherlands for an international mental health summit, the Global Leadership Exchange. This convening was a week of networking, knowledge exchange, and sharing experiences with other thought leaders in mental health from around the globe.
