Improving access to education and opportunities for disadvantaged students is important to EIV Capital's team. Since first partnering with Cristo Rey High School in 2015 and later University of St. Thomas Rising Stars Program, EIV has provided multi-year work-study internships to high school and college students. These Internships expose students to a professional environment, build their professional skills and prepare them for future success. EIV also supports Literacy Now which whose vision is for every child to read at grade level; the entire firm participates annually in its Houston Reads Day by serving as volunteer guest readers in elementary schools throughout Houston.

20+ internships offered

Charitable Impact

Inspired by the opportunity to make a real difference to our community, EIV Capital launched its Community Impact Fund in 2025. Annually, the team collectively discerns and awards a sizable financial gift to a non-profit organization with which an EIV Capital employee is actively involved as a volunteer or board member. The funds are awarded based on the strategy and execution plan to address a transformative capital need at the organization. Areas of focus in our local Houston community include basic human needs (food, shelter, healthcare), quality of life (arts, environment, parks and museums), and education (literacy, early childhood).

Environmental Commitment

EIV Capital has successfully invested in clean energy for over 10 years, and we will continue to navigate ‘new imperatives’ as energy markets continue to evolve. In addition, we strive to be responsible stewards for our extended workforce, the environment and the assets in which we invest.
