Texana Center recently received notification from The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation, Inc. that they had issued a $400,000 challenge grant towards Texana’s West Campus project. When this grant is matched, it will be applied to the challenge grant which was issued by The George Foundation for $1.5 million. Texana has already received a $250,000 matching grant from The Houston Endowment, Inc.

The proposed West Campus project will encompass a Learning Center to provide training in life and job skills, and a Service Center to accommodate staff who deliver services to people with developmental disabilities.

George Patterson, CEO commented, “This is extremely exciting news and brings us closer to completing the original challenge grant and breaking ground on our new Learning Center here in Rosenberg. We are extremely grateful to all the foundations and community members who had the foresight to invest in our project; we are looking forward to being able to provide first-class services to people with developmental disabilities in west Fort Bend County.”
