DALLAS, September 3, 2025 — The Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a $400,000 grant from the Texas Instruments (TI) Foundation, providing vital operating support for the years ahead. The three-year grant will help ensure the Museum is able to fulfill its mission to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference.
The generous funding will allow the Museum to continue serving the North Texas community and beyond with Holocaust and human rights education with meaningful programming and engaging special exhibitions throughout 2026, 2027, and 2028. The TI Foundation previously contributed $300,000 in grant support for 2023, 2024, and 2025 and $100,000 in 2021, and is choosing to increase this support based upon the success of the Museum’s programming and the importance of its mission.
“The TI Foundation is honored to continue our partnership with the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum,” said Andy Smith, executive director of the TI Foundation. “We have seen how the Museum has educated thousands of its visitors about the importance of standing up against hatred and bigotry. By extending our support, we aim to preserve history while ensuring that even more lives are touched, inspired, and changed by the Museum’s vital mission.”
“Education is the most powerful tool we have to combat hatred and build a more just and compassionate world,” said Mary Pat Higgins, president and CEO of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. “This renewed support from the TI Foundation ensures that we can continue providing crucial educational resources to thousands of students and visitors. Their commitment to our mission demonstrates the enduring power of partnership in addressing the challenges of prejudice and indifference, and we are deeply grateful for their belief in the transformative impact of our work.”
The Museum is grateful for the TI Foundation’s ongoing support in educating thousands of students and visitors from North Texas and beyond. The Foundation’s commitment helps the Museum fulfill its vision of inspiring visitors to become Upstanders and promote human dignity through the lessons of the Holocaust and other human rights violations. By teaching about these world-changing events, the Museum highlights powerful stories of struggle and courage, empowering the community to take action and drive positive change.
