About Us

Mission Statement

The Greehey Family Foundation is committed to transforming the lives of under-served populations in San Antonio and Bexar County. We do this by providing grants to effective nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the health and human welfare conditions of children and youth, families, the elderly, the homeless, and other disadvantaged individuals.

Our Values

Founded by Bill and Louree Greehey, we represent a lasting family legacy of giving back. Today, we remain deeply committed to supporting nonprofit organizations that strengthen our community and lift up our neighbors. Our charitable giving focuses on San Antonio and Bexar County, a community where our family roots run deep and our commitment to philanthropy continues to grow.

Putting People First

We prioritize the well-being and dignity of every individual.

Community Commitment

We are dedicated to strengthening and uplifting the community we call home.

Integrity & Fairness

We earn and maintain trust through fairness, transparency, and respect in all that we do.

Our History

Throughout Bill Greehey’s remarkable 46-year career, which included building the nation’s largest petroleum refining and marketing company, he established himself as one of America’s most successful, visionary, and philanthropic leaders. Guided by his belief that “you are never truly a success until you share your success with others,” Bill and his wife Louree created The Greehey Family Foundation in 2003 as a charitable legacy for their family.

Funding is provided to nonprofit organizations throughout San Antonio and Bexar County at the discretion of the Foundation’s Board of Directors. We may also consider requests from outside Bexar County when programs serve individuals from the greater San Antonio area. Our Board meets twice annually to review grant applications.

Since its founding, our foundation has committed more than $180 million to programs that have improved the lives of countless individuals in San Antonio and Bexar County. We prioritize grants that strengthen the community by advancing health, education, and overall well-being.
We are committed to improving the lives of under-served populations in San Antonio and Bexar Country for generations to come.
