About the TSHL Foundation
The mission of the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Foundation is to provide the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature (TSHL) with the resources to improve the knowledge and skills of its membership in formulating their public policy recommendations.
The Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Foundation was established in 1985 as a non-profit 501(c)3 to raise funds to support TSHL. Other resources come from grants for special projects and individual members who finance their travel and other expenses. TSHL is an all-volunteer group with no paid staff or office. As a member-driven organization, TSHL is not supported by state funds.

As a Friend of the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature (TSHL), you can help TSHL in its efforts to:
- Encourage senior citizens to participate more actively in public affairs, in the interest of good government for all Texans.
- Encourage more non-partisan discussion and debate on senior citizen issues.
- Provide older citizens with avenues to serve as senior issue resources in both public and private sectors, and to interact with other citizen groups, organizations, and agencies.
- Adopt selected senior issues as legislative priorities for the Texas Legislature to consider.
The Foundation actively solicits tax-deductible gifts, grants, and donations that will support the operational expenses of the TSHL for their training and orientation meetings, and research and policy-development activities.
