We cultivate wholeness in people and institutions for the transformation of communities.
The H. E. Butt Foundation is an operating foundation. Grounded in the Christian faith, our vision is people restored in relationship to God, self, others, and creation, and
institutions effective in purpose, strengthened by leadership, and rooted in community.
Our headquarters are in Kerrville, Texas, and we have offices in San Antonio, though much of our work takes place deep in the Texas Hill Country on 1,900 acres situated along a breathtaking stretch of the Frio River Canyon. There, we run five programs—a youth camp, a family camp, an adult retreat center, an outdoor school, and a camp that provides free facility use to qualifying groups.
Outside the Canyon, we operate a sixth program dedicated to fostering community engagement on behalf of families and children in the places we live and work—San Antonio, Kerrville, and Real County.
