Albert and Margaret Alkek Foundation Overview

General Information

The Albert and Margaret Alkek Foundation was established in 1995, following the death of Albert B. Alkek, to continue the philanthropic work he and his family had devoted to. The foundation provides support for charitable, religious, scientific (primarily medical), cultural, and educational organizations and programs, with a focus on serving the people of the state of Texas. The majority of grants reflect Mr. Alkek’s preferences for research and education-related projects, alongside the family’s strong community involvement.
