Thirty five years ago the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce together with community leaders Cecil Burney Pat Eisenhauer and Dick Sells launched a public foundation to promote and encourage philanthropy in the Coastal Bend. With an initial donation of $150000 from the Paul and Mary Haas Foundation and borrowed office space at the Chamber of Commerce the Coastal Bend Community Foundation was established in 1981. Today the Coastal Bend Community Foundation is one of approximately 750 community foundations in the United States. Its charitable impact has been profound but it does not accomplish this work alone. Through the generosity of its donors and the foresight of the Foundations founders and directors the Coastal Bend Community Foundation has grown assets to over $77.3 million while awarding over $115 million in grants and scholarships through 2018. The Foundation serves the Coastal Bend counties of Aransas Bee Jim Wells Kleberg Nueces Refugio and San Patricio through its 307 funds. The Coastal Bend Community Foundation invites anyone who is interested in meeting the charitable needs of this area to partner to improve the quality of life in the Coastal Bend.
