Since 2002, the Houston Texans have donated more than $45 million back to the community through the Houston Texans Foundation. The mission of the Houston Texans Foundation is to be Champions for Youth. The Texans Foundation supports and administers programs in education, character development, and health and wellness to empower the next generation of Texans. As strong supporters of the military, the Texans partner with military partners and veteran-service organizations throughout the year to show our appreciation to all those who have served.

Since 2003, America's VetDogs has trained and placed guide and service dogs to provide independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship to veterans from all eras, and first responders with disabilities. VetDogs is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that relies on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, service clubs, and foundations to fund its mission to help those who have served our country live with dignity and independence. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog, but America's VetDogs provides its services completely free of charge to the individual.
