Specifically, the gift was intended to attract and support the incoming Houston corps members by covering 50% of their $3,500 transitional stipends for one year.

The financial gift from Kinder Foundation was given at a pivotal time for TFA Houston, which partners with local school districts and charter schools to expand educational opportunities for all students. Over the last three decades, the organization has experienced significant growth, and the demand for TFA talent is higher than ever. As TFA Houston looks toward the future, it aims to increase the size of its incoming corps members to 225 by the 2026-2027 academic year, representing a 50% increase from the organization’s current 150 corps members.

Central to this expansion growth is the ability to offer financial support to all incoming corps members, which has proven critical to attracting top talent.
