Abell-Hanger Foundation

Our Mission The Abell-Hanger Foundation transforms lives through purposeful philanthropy. Our Vision A community where every person realizes their full potential. Our Core Values - Transformation - Collaboration - Humility - Accountability - Transparency The Foundation In furtherance of the mandate in its charter to support any benevolent, charitable, or educational undertaking, the Foundation makes grants to nonprofit organizations which are involved in such undertakings for the public welfare, including, but not limited to, education, health and human services, arts and cultural activities that benefit our community. The Abell-Hanger Foundation has deep roots in Midland and the West Texas region. Midland was the site of Mr. Abell’s professional life and, together with Mrs. Abell, his personal life. Mr. Abell’s business success was primarily achieved as an oil and gas operator in the rural areas of West Texas. As a result of his involvement in this geographic region, he developed a deep sense of obligation to the people and rural communities of West Texas. The trustees are firmly committed to continuing the Abell’s philanthropic interests in Midland and West Texas. The trustees have affirmed that commitment to West Texas by targeting a preponderance of the foundation’s annual grant budget to Midland and twenty-six counties in West Texas.
