01 — About the family
A Houston dynasty rooted in values, vision & generosity.
The Sarofim name is synonymous with long-term thinking. What began in 1958 with Fayez Sarofim's investment counsel firm grew into one of America's most respected family enterprises — and one of Texas' most generous philanthropic forces.
Today the second and third generations steward the legacy through the Sarofim Family Office, the Sarofim Foundation, and partnerships with Rice University, Texas Children's Hospital, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and Memorial Hermann.
