HSPVA Friends is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in partnership with Houston ISD. HSPVA Friends oversees Kinder HSPVA's governance, finances, staffing, calendar, and curriculum while raising the philanthropic support that makes its nationally recognized arts education possible.

With the help of hundreds of volunteers, HSPVA Friends supports every aspect of the school's six art areas: Creative Writing, Dance, Instrumental Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Vocal Music. Since 1978, HSPVA Friends has raised millions of dollars from foundations, corporations, and individual donors to provide the adjunct faculty, guest artists, equipment, technology, arts supplies, and performance opportunities that public funding does not cover.

We pride ourselves in collaborating with community leaders, artists, and parents to fill the gap between public funding and the essential building blocks of a quality education.
