The George Foundation Announces Expansion To Grant-Making Team

The George Foundation was founded in 1945 by Mamie and Albert George to "build and supporting a vibrant and prospering local community in Fort Bend County," according to its website.

Since then, it's invested more than $300 million in programs that "make Fort Bend County special," including early childhood programs, health care for the indigent, affordable housing, schools to educate our youth and build job skills, hospitals and clinics, senior services, and college scholarships.

Now, in an effort to "leverage internal talent," the foundation has promoted Tempestt Bui to program associate in its grant-making team, managing the department's data and grant application portal, the Houston Chronicle reports.

"The expansion of the Grants Team will allow the Foundation to leverage internal talent to support our growing work in Fort Bend County, and I'm excited for what Tempestt and Donna can bring to the table in their roles of increased responsibility," says CEO Roger Adamson.
