Letter from our president Welcome everyone.Diamonds & Dollars (Houston Diamonds & Dollars, Inc.) was formed in March 1999 by twelve women, Charter members, whose vision for the organization was to provide support for youth and women in Harris County and surrounding areas. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, we are committed to continue our efforts to reach out and help more women and youth by contributing funds and volunteer hours to the community and organizations with similar goals.
One of our largest contributions to the community comes from our scholarship program with San Jacinto College.We offer scholarships not only to high school graduates but to other women who want to return to college to further their education.Our organization currently has three scholarship recipients who meet the organization’s criteria and are benefiting from our scholarship program.We hope to be able to expand this to more recipients in the future.In addition, we provide support to local FFAs, Harris County Fair, and the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.We support area schools by providing funds to help students and families in need through our annual school supply drive and caps and gowns program for seniors who would not have the opportunity to participate in their graduation ceremony without our assistance.
Diamonds & Dollars raises the money needed to provide this support by organizing fund raisers throughout the year.We are also supported by various individuals who help sponsor our events through monetary contributions and goods.We truly appreciate all our supporters who have contributed in the past and continue to provide assistance throughout the year. Through this collaboration of efforts between our current and past members along with help from the community, Diamonds & Dollars is able to provide the above support.
