PHILANTHROPY
Giving is how we put Building Better Lives into practice.
Our commitment to this community isn’t a single program. It runs through the projects our people take on, the grants we fund, the causes we support directly, and the organizations we come alongside. Each one works a little differently. Together, they let us show up for the neighborhoods around us in the way that helps most.
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS & DRIVES
Service is one of the clearest ways we live our mission.
Throughout the year, we organize volunteer projects and charitable drives on our developments for the people who work, live, and spend time here. Area professionals, tenants, and residents come together to pack meals for children facing food insecurity, collecting gifts and supplies for kids in need, and contributing donations for local families.
These projects are built to be easy to join. That’s the point. When people give a few hours alongside their neighbors and coworkers, the effect reaches well past the day itself.
METRONATIONAL FOUNDATION
The MetroNational Foundation is one of the ways we turn that commitment into funding.
Through the Foundation, we grant money to worthy local charities and schools in the surrounding area, supporting organizations doing meaningful work close to home. MetroNational is the Foundation’s largest donor.
Fundraising through the Foundation also helps make our community service projects and drives possible. The dollars we raise and the hours our community gives are two halves of the same effort.
DIRECT & CORPORATE GIVING
The Foundation isn’t the only way we give.
MetroNational also supports causes and organizations directly, as a company. Having more than one way to give means we can respond to what an organization actually needs, when they need it.
SPONSORSHIP & PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Some of the best opportunities come from working with others.
MetroNational seeks out sponsorships and community partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to integrity, trust, impact, and legacy. Through them, companies can align their brand with programs and events that support meaningful causes and strengthen the broader community.
Opportunities may include event sponsorships, program partnerships, brand recognition, or collaborations built around shared goals.
The best partnerships do more than create visibility. They create value for the community. Reach out to learn more at community@metronational.com.
ORGANIZATIONS WE SUPPORT
Community Affairs is proud to work with and give to organizations that share our values and our commitment to making a lasting difference.
The organizations below represent that work in different forms. Some have received grants from the MetroNational Foundation. Some have received funding from us directly. Others have collaborated with us on an event or a program, or have been supported in other ways.
What they have in common is the work itself: programs that strengthen families, serve children, expand access, and create a better West Houston and Memorial for generations to come.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Bringing people together is its own kind of community work.
Across our developments, we host and support events throughout the year that give people a reason to gather. Some are lifestyle events built around the everyday experience of being here. Some are community events created with and for the neighborhoods around us. Others center on art and culture, bringing performance, exhibition, and creative work into shared spaces.
The programming shifts with the season and the audience. The intent doesn’t. Every one of them exists to connect people to this place and to each other.
ART
Art shapes MetroNational’s developments from the ground up. It communicates who we are and tells our story, past, present, and future.
As our art program grows, it continues to influence our buildings and interiors, outdoor spaces and landscapes, public gathering places, and the design and construction decisions that bring them to life. At every scale, from a building lobby to a garden, art helps create spaces that connect people, organizations, communities, and artists. It reflects the interests of those who spend time here, draws visitors from beyond our developments, and creates a legacy worth sharing.
