Community Support

Commitment to community is a central tenant in the U.S. Growth Funds philosophy.  Life balance and evidence of “commitment to something greater than self ” are strongly encouraged at all levels.  The companies we acquire often have a long history of deep community involvement.  USGF is respectful of those pre-existing community relationships and often continues to provide financial support and leadership resources to those that make a meaningful difference.  

Fund Partners, as well as Management Partners, at USGF Portfolio Companies are encouraged to dedicate a meaningful part of their personal time in community service.  USGF provides financial support to the community based and national non-profit organizations that our partners and employees choose to support with their time.

USGF Partners and employees dedicate hundreds of hours each year to their leadership roles as members of community based and national non-profit organizations.  The following are some of the organizations they support:

United Way (www.unitedway.org)
St. Jude Children’s Hospital (www.stjude.org)
McDonald Observatory (www.mcdonaldobservatory.org)
University of Texas, College of Natural Science Advisory Counsel (cns.utexas.edu)
Tarrant County Community College Foundation (www.TCCD.edu)
Davey O’Brien College Quarterback Foundation (www.daveyobrien.com)
TCU Entrepreneurship Program (neeley.tcu.edu)
Leadership Fort Worth, Texas (www.leadershipfortworth.org)
Leadership Buda, Texas
College and University Endowments

The extent of personal involvement by USGF employees is a critical determining factor in all charitable contributions approved by the USGF contributions committee.  In addition, USGF fund partners are encouraged to contribute a meaningful portion of any gains realized during major liquidity events from the sale of investment assets.  Consequently, our most meaningful charitable contributions are typically event driven, and somewhat sporadic.
