Woodall Foundation
The Woodall Foundation was founded as a compassionate response for children in need. In February of 1999, Martin Woodall, Vice President of Mark Cuban Companies, wanted to give back to the community where he had lived, worked and experienced a great deal of financial success for the past 20 years. Forming a non profit foundation allowed Martin to accomplish this goal while at the same time help those less fortunate.
Reliant Energy
Reliant Energy provides electricity and energy services to more than 1.5 million retail customers—including homes, small and large businesses, manufacturing facilities, government entities and institutions across Texas. In addition to the EcoShare program mentioned above on this page, Reliant Energy is partnering with Texas Discovery Gardens to support our 70th Anniversary Membership Drive and the 4th Annual Dallas Green Festival.
Texas Instruments
Almost 80 years ago, TI's founders decided that the company's worth was based not only on the strength of its balance sheet, but also on its contributions to society.
This philosophy is still evident today in the company’s ongoing efforts to improve education, the environment, and the quality of life for our employees, neighbors and communities. To make a positive impact in the locations where it operates, TI donates resources, while many of its employees (including company leaders) volunteer their time.
