Our Purpose
Founded on the principles of service, integrity, respect, leadership, and community investment, the Daniel and Bridget Hernandez Foundation is dedicated to making a meaningful difference for those who need it most. We believe that everyone deserves access to education, mentorship, healthcare, and the resources necessary to achieve their full potential.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every child throughout Texas—from the Rio Grande Valley to the Panhandle, from East Texas to West Texas—has access to quality early childhood education, where families across our state receive the healthcare they need, where talented students throughout Texas can pursue higher education without financial barriers, where families in crisis receive the support they deserve, and where every Texan has the opportunity to thrive. Through scholarships, charitable partnerships, healthcare support, early childhood education programs, community outreach, and direct service, we are building that future one life at a time across the great state of Texas
