About Halliburton Charitable Foundation
The Halliburton Charitable Foundation directs its giving through the Halliburton Charity Golf Tournament, with proceeds awarded to nonprofit beneficiaries that serve communities where Halliburton operates. Recent grants show a mix of general support and support tied to major capital expenditures or special community programs, all within the United States. The foundation’s recent award list is dominated by Houston-area organizations, but it also reaches nonprofits in Dallas, Spring, Kingwood, The Woodlands, Pearland, Midland, and other Texas communities. Among the largest recent grants, the foundation gave $250,000 to the Astros Foundation in 2025 and another $250,000 in 2023. It also made six-figure awards to Houston Police Foundation, including $133,100 and $129,450 in 2025, alongside a $107,000 grant in 2023. Those awards sit alongside smaller general-support grants to organizations working in youth services, health and human services, environment and conservation, and community development. The pattern suggests a funder that uses a recurring annual event to support nonprofit organizations with local impact, especially those connected to the communities around Halliburton’s operations.

Youth services and education also appear repeatedly. The foundation awarded $59,050 to Inspiration Ranch Inc and $52,200 to Communities in Schools of Houston Inc, both in 2025, and $52,400 to Girls Incorporated of Greater Houston for general support. Health and human services are another recurring area. Recent awards include $56,000 to Medical Bridges Inc, $55,100 to Kids Meals Inc, $52,300 to Ronald Mcdonald House of Houston Inc, and $51,900 to The Council on Recovery, all in 2025. Support for women and families is reflected in a $77,000 grant to Houston Area Womens Center Inc.
