South Texas has always run on energy — and not just the kind that comes out of the ground. It runs on the hard work of families who've built careers in this industry, the communities that grew up alongside the rigs and pipelines, and the people who show up every day to do work the rest of the country depends on.

The South Texas Energy Foundation exists to give back to those people and those places.

We are a South Texas charitable foundation funded by and connected to the energy industry — operators, landmen, service companies, and the professionals who make it all work. Our mission is simple: take what this industry produces and reinvest it into the communities where it matters most.
