The Best Breakfast in Houston Just Got Better
United Way of Greater Houston has secured a cause marketing collaboration with The Breakfast Klub family of restaurants. From January 22 to Feb 2, when Houstonians dine at The Breakfast Klub, Reggae Hut, or Kulture, they will have an opportunity to donate to United Way of Greater Houston. The collaboration will run for two weeks, helping make an impact one plate at a time. Join us!
The 2024 Investment Process is here!
Our upcoming investment process begins with a Funding Conference on February 15 where we will share everything you need to know about the process and partnership opportunities.
