HOUSTON, TEXAS. Project Row Houses (PRH) is one of the beneficiaries of the most recent round of gifts made by philanthropists MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett. PRH will use this gift in service to its mission to empower people and enrich communities through engagement, art, and direct action, in Third Ward and beyond.
PRH Executive Director Eureka Gilkey noted: “Black-led nonprofits have long struggled with the same wealth gap that Black individuals and families have dealt with since the end of the Civil War. PRH has done heavy lifting for the past six years to strengthen our financial position. This gift will help us maintain that accomplishment while giving us peace of mind knowing that we have a long runway should any crisis like a major flood, pandemic, or catastrophic freeze affect charitable giving in the short term.”
