The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health is transforming how communities promote mental health in everyday life. We envision a Texas where people thrive in communities that support mental health and well-being.
The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health was established in 1940 by the children of Texas Governor James Hogg. The original $2.5 million endowment came from the estate of Will C. Hogg, the eldest of the Hogg children. Upon his death in 1930, his sister Ima and his brother Mike established the Hogg Foundation for Mental Hygiene (the organizationās original name) in his memory at The University of Texas at Austin.
