Clutch City Foundation
Established in 1995, the Clutch City Foundation is the umbrella organization for all Rockets community initiatives. The mission of the foundation is to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate - especially children. Foundation efforts are focused on three primary areas: Education, Grassroots Basketball and Grassroots Outreach.

Grassroots Outreach
Grassroots Outreach provides financial assistance to non-profit organizations that need help in fulfilling their mission.
On April 4th, MassMutual Foundation welcomed over two thousand 8th graders to Toyota Center for MassMutual Foundation’s FutureSmart Challenge, a national financial education program in partnership with the Rockets and Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas. Hosted by award-winning actor and best-selling author Hill Harper and featuring Rockets legend Mo Taylor, the Rockets Launch Crew, and Rockets DJ T Gray, the FutureSmart Challenge empowers young leaders to make smart educational and financial choices.
Tilman Fertitta and the Houston Rockets thank the MassMutual Foundation for their contributions to this event!
