Community Impact
The Forever Fund
Established in 2024, the Forever Fund is a group of young Wacoans dedicated to fostering a culture of philanthropy and giving back to our community.
The Forever Fund officially launched in March 2024 as a Waco Foundation initiative to foster charitable giving among the next generation of Wacoans.
As a member supported giving circle with the goal of improving quality of life in McLennan County, Forever Fund members pay annual dues of $250 that are combined with proceeds from a unique and exciting concert event and awarded in full as a grant to a local Waco nonprofit. The Forever Fund is designed to give everyone an opportunity to contribute in a small way to make a large impact every year.
Forever Fund members granted more than $37,000 to Transformation Waco in 2024!
