For the Record

Wonderworks was formed in 2004 by a group of concerned university and secondary school educators and parents who saw a need to offer students of special promise and ability age-appropriate but challenging extra-curricular learning opportunities to increase cultural literacy and stimulate creative development. Wonderworks initially functioned under the umbrella of the Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County, but since June 2005 has operated as a freestanding 501 (c) (3) organization under the IRS code.

Wonderworks’ programs are supported in part by philanthropic contributions from The Brown Foundation, Inc., The Elkins Foundation, and the Susan Vaughan Foundation.
