The Kempner Fund is dedicated to building a more resilient and effective nonprofit sector capable of driving positive social impact. In Galveston, nonprofits are cornerstones of Island life, community well-being and disaster response. Although the nonprofit sector serves these essential roles, most organizations face significant capacity constraints, including limited resources, dated infrastructure, and skill gaps in an increasingly competitive talent marketplace.

The Kempner Fund prioritizes investments in high-quality organizational development, executive leadership development, and governance training to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of organizations and support our nonprofit leaders in Galveston.
