MISSION To partner with organizations that strengthen women,  youth and families while building an educated, tolerant and resilient community.

Background and Focus The granddaughter of Ola and L.B. Simmons founded The Simmons Foundation as a tribute to her grandparents’ lifelong tradition of contributing toward the betterment of any community in which they lived. Established in 1993, The Simmons Foundation expresses its values by funding organizations that help those whose resources are limited so they can lead productive, fulfilling and responsible lives with dignity and respect. In this manner, the Simmons Foundation honors the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons. The Foundation’s primary interests are education, health and human services.

To Friends of the Foundation…

This 11th Annual Report is our “report card” to the community.

Each year, we have attempted to refine our grantmaking to better reflect our donor’s intent, and focus our gifting on organizations that align with our mission of “… building an educated, tolerant and resilient community.” We envision a community “where all people have the opportunity to improve their lives.”

Our asset size suggests a giving level considerably lower than the $3.4 million we distributed in 2012. However, our commitment to the community is high and our grantees are still feeling the impact of a difficult economy. As a result, we have continued to contribute at a level that helps our grant partners by providing the resources that enable them to fulfill their mission.

In 2012, we welcomed a new Program Officer into The Simmons Foundation family – Kelli King-Jackson, formerly with the Children’s Defense Fund. She, along with Senior Program Officer, Amanda Cloud and our Grants Coordinator, Kay Davis, have melded into a strong team. Also in 2012, the Foundation welcomed a new Board Member – John Durie, Executive VP and CFO at Green Bank. John has been a longstanding friend of the Foundation.

Over the course of the year, staff reviewed over 300 Letters of Inquiry (LOI). Ultimately, 176 organizations were funded, of which 16% were new to our foundation. General Operating support continues to represent the majority of our gifts, at over 60%. Realizing that Capacity Building funds are sometimes difficult for nonprofits to obtain, for the first time, staff earmarked funds specifically for Capacity Building projects. Further, we are proud that our grantmaking reflects the composition of greater Houston, which has become the most diverse city in the country.

However, there is more to our work than reviewing LOIs and applications. For example, staff continues to be involved in critical issues that impact our community – we participated in important community conversations about homelessness and women’s health. We remain active with the Conference of Southwest Foundations – serving on the Board and participating on various committees. Additionally, we are frequently called upon to be panelists regarding the grantmaking process and other matters of concern and interest to nonprofit organizations and funders, alike.

The 2012 year was both challenging and fulfilling. We are looking forward to 2013 when we will implement a new application procedure. However our goals remain the same – to be transparent regarding our processes while, simultaneously, having an open, honest and supportive relationship with our grant partners.

We thank our grantees for their hard work to empower and assist vulnerable communities through education, healthcare, advocacy and enrichment opportunities, while respecting diversity. And we thank our colleagues for the opportunity to share educational experiences and work alongside a very dedicated group of foundation officers. Linda K. May Executive Director The Simmons Foundation

The above information represents The Simmons Foundation’s funding in Harris and surrounding counties in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Although the majority of grants are made in the Greater Houston area, a small number of grants are made to organizations in pre-selected cities outside of Texas.

NOTE: Due to our desire to serve the Greater Houston area, our funding demographics represent a larger population than what is represented in the Harris County census data.

In 2007, The Simmons Foundation was granted IRS The Simmons approval to institute a scholarship program in Foundation/ collaboration with The Redstone Companies. The Simmons Foundation/Redstone Scholarship Program is Redstone targeted to dependents of employees of The Redstone Scholarship Companies and affiliated entities. The scholarship program, which is administered by the Linda Lorelle Program Scholarship Fund, is available to eligible employees only.

The mission of The Simmons Foundation/Redstone Scholarship Program is to provide scholarships for  qualified employees’ dependents who need financial assistance and whose academic and personal potential may be unfulfilled due to circumstances beyond their control. A limited number of scholarships will be awarded yearly, based on a competitive process.
