American Humanics certification is the way many Houston-area foundations and philanthropic individuals protect their investments in our community's nonprofit social services, arts organizations and other charities. By investing in the next generation of nonprofit leaders, our donors can feel confident that the nonprofits employing AH graduates will be run efficiently and effectively, maximizing their charitable dollars. They also know that by supporting the AH program, they are giving a boost to people who have a sincere interest in making a career of making a difference.
After providing seed money for the first four years of the AH program at the University of Houston, David M. Underwood continues to stay involved as a member of the Leadership Circle, a group of community volunteers dedicated to gathering support for AH.
