Texas Bankers Foundation
Established in 1991, the Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the Texas Bankers Association. Our mission is to empower and champion Texas banks, their employees, and communities by implementing programs that celebrate and magnify their positive impact. Our initiatives educate, reward, and inspire present and future bankers, fostering greater community support.

Scholarships and Grants
The Texas Bankers Foundation collaborates with leading graduate banking schools in the U.S. to award scholarships to deserving Texas bankers, fostering excellence in banking and finance. Eligibility extends to employees of TBA-member banking institutions meeting the schools’ admissions criteria.
The Foundation also offers the 4-H and Future Farmers of America Financial Literacy Grant, offering banks the opportunity to donate $250 to a local 4-H or FFA chapter. This initiative aims to support agricultural communities while enhancing financial literacy among participating students.
Financial Literacy
The Bankers Foundation is dedicated to advancing financial literacy and fostering consumer education throughout Texas. Given bankers’ expertise in money management, their involvement in consumer education programs is a seamless fit aimed at enriching the lives of community members. These programs encompass a range of initiatives, including educating children on the importance of saving, guiding teenagers in responsible credit usage, assisting young adults with budgeting and financing their initial home purchases, offering services for the unbanked, and safeguarding the elderly against fraud.
