History
Founding Directors












​At the Community Foundation of West Texas's inception, the Board of Directors created the Founder Member Administrative Endowment Fund. The income earned on this fund is used for the operating expenses of the Foundation office, thereby eliminating the need for an annual drive for operating capital. The goal is 200 founder members who contribute $1,000 or more to this fund. At the present time there are 157 names on this roll and new founder member contributions are most welcome. Now, and in years to come, the founder members will be honored by others for their generosity and foresight in wanting to support the Foundation so it will be available to serve others who give for the benefit of worthy causes in Lubbock and the surrounding area.
