Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To unite, empower and mobilize churches to multiply collective impact on critical needs in their community.

  • City-Wide Collaborative Initiatives (ServeHTX, HopeFest, Winning Houston, Houston Flourish Forums) The organization leads and supports city-wide initiatives that mobilize volunteers and advance collaborative solutions to community needs. ServeHTX coordinates volunteers across Greater Houston to meet practical community needs through service projects. HopeFest and Winning Houston provide community outreach that addresses both spiritual and practical needs through large-scale engagement efforts. Houston Flourish Forums convene subject matter experts and practitioners to address key issues including food insecurity, housing, mental health, and education, supporting shared learning and action-oriented solutions. Collectively, these initiatives expand regional engagement, strengthen partnerships, and improve community outcomes across Greater Houston.

    Expenses $115,885

  • Coalition Development (Regional Workgroups and Capacity Building) The organization facilitates and supports regional coalitions focused on disaster response, food insecurity, education, mental health, and community resilience. These coalitions convene churches, nonprofits, and community partners to improve coordination, reduce service duplication, and increase collective impact. Activities include convening regular meetings, conducting capacity assessments, mapping community resources, and providing training and tools to strengthen organizational effectiveness and preparedness.

    Expenses $53,227

  • State of the City (Annual Convening Initiative) The organization convenes an annual State of the City gathering that brings together leaders from faith-based, nonprofit, business, education, and civic sectors across Greater Houston. The convening provides data, keynote presentations, and panel discussions to promote cross-sector collaboration, align community priorities, and encourage coordinated action on regional issues. The event strengthens partnerships and connects stakeholders to ongoing collaborative initiatives.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
