What Grant Halliburton Foundation does

Grant Halliburton Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2006 in Dallas, Texas, that delivers youth mental health education, suicide prevention programming, and resource navigation across the North Texas region. Its core programmatic portfolio comprises in-school youth and adult education (grades 3–12), the Thrive school-wide strategy, Peer Helpers PLUS and Hope Squad peer-to-peer programs, and the Early Risers pre-K through 2nd-grade pilot. Resource-side offerings include the free Here For Texas Mental Health Navigation Line (operating since early 2019), the HereForTexas.com searchable provider database with a Spanish-language counterpart, English- and Spanish-language caregiver support groups (Coffee Days and Charlas con un Cafecito), and low-cost printed brochures.

The foundation operates from the Pegasus Park nonprofit campus in Dallas (3000 Pegasus Park Drive, Suite 750) with an 11–50 person staff led by President Kevin Hall and Executive Chairman Vanita Halliburton. Funding flows from individual donors (one-time and recurring through Friends of Grant Halliburton Foundation), planned giving via the Legacy of Hope Society, stock/asset gifts, retail rewards programs (Kroger, Tom Thumb), corporate sponsors (UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas), and signature fundraising events including the annual Hope Party gala, Beacon of Hope Luncheon, and Eric Nadel Birthday Benefit concert.

Since founding, the organization claims to have trained more than 375,000 students, educators, parents, and professionals, and it holds the 2025 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency. Strategic distribution runs through direct school delivery, annual professional and youth conferences (When Life Hands You Teenagers, Texas-Sized Peer-to-Peer), co-hosted programming with peer North Texas suicide-prevention nonprofits (Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation, Grace Loncar Foundation), and emerging partnerships with the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas and Girl Scouts of North Texas. Technology is limited to conventional web, telephony, and event-management infrastructure with no disclosed AI/ML capability or proprietary software product beyond the provider directory.
