General Fund

Gifts to the general fund will provide support to the areas of greatest need, as well as assist with costs associated with operating The Woodlands.

WonderFund

It is one of our core values that experiences at The Woodlands should be affordable for all, and that affordability should never prohibit participation. To ensure this, the WonderFund was established in 2000 to provide scholarship assistance to those in need. Today, the WonderFund consists of two funds: the Lambert Family Fund, established for the purpose of supporting new program development; and the Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to eligible families.

Endowment

The Woodlands Endowment is a permanently restricted investment fund from which a percentage of the annual interest income is distributed to help subsidize the fixed operating costs associated with the care and maintenance of The Woodlands’ 52-acre campus, and the 15 buildings that reside on campus. The Woodlands’ goal in establishing and growing an endowment is to offset annual facility operating costs so that there could be additional resources available to dedicate to increasing program opportunities and utilization. Gifts to The Woodlands’ endowment may be made to support general expenses or for designated purposes.
