Born in Corpus Christi. Built for Corpus Christi.
The 36 West Foundation Inc was founded on a straightforward conviction: that meaningful change starts close to home. We are a Corpus Christi organization through and through — our roots are here, our team is here, and every dollar we raise goes back into the neighborhoods of this city.
We do not operate outside Corpus Christi. That's not a limitation — it's a choice. We believe in deep, sustained, community-level impact, and that requires focus.
"We are not trying to change the world. We are trying to change Corpus Christi — one neighborhood, one family, one block at a time."
What We Stand For
Our Mission: To strengthen the neighborhoods of Corpus Christi through community-centered programs, partnerships, and initiatives.
