Marvy Finger Family Foundation

The Marvy Finger Family Foundation’s mission is to provide HISD graduating seniors with access to quality high demand employment opportunities through obtaining a certificate, license or AAS from a local community college. We help our students navigate the college process and equip them with the tools necessary to meet their goals.

Marvy Alan Finger leaves a legacy as a premiere developer of apartment homes and as a philanthropist in a wide range of fields. He was passionate in his pursuit of perfection in business and generous to the city of Houston where he was born and pursued his life’s work. He created, along with his wife Elaine, The Marvy Finger Family Foundation Scholarship program. This program was based on his belief that a productive work life should be available to all. He and his wife developed and managed this program to help low-income Houston ISD high-school graduates pursue a career through certification or a degree, mentoring them along the way. Marvy characterized this scholarship program as the greatest and most satisfying accomplishment of his life, often getting emotional when he talked about it.
