About Us:

The private non-profit foundation now known as the Hall-Voyer Foundation was granted its charter April 15, 1940. It was chartered as the David Graham Hall Trust and David Graham Hall Foundation. The trust supported the Foundation. In 1984 the name was changed to the Hall-Voyer Foundation to honor Richard F. Voyer, who was responsible for guiding and building the Foundation since its organization.

There are not very many Foundations as old as the Hall-Voyer Foundation. It has grown and changed through its past sixty years, keeping up with the times and the needs of the people it serves. From its inception in Dallas, then its move to Monkstown, then to Honey Grove, it has touched the lives of many thousands of people in various ways.

There are probably many people who live in Honey Grove today who probably do not know the story of how the Hall-Voyer Foundation started and how it ended up in Honey Grove. For those who do know the story, it would be good to reminisce and reflect over the changes it has brought to Honey Grove and to Texas.

The "Dallas Morning News" dated May 27, 1940 had a big article about the establishment of the Foundation. Dr. David Graham Hall, who was 82 years old at that time, turned over $300,000 worth of real estate to set up the new Foundation. This was from a man who never made over $3,000 a year. The Foundation's purpose was for treatment and prevention of communicable diseases, primarily venereal disease, and to promote ways to accomplish this. It also had as its purpose the promotion of communital, social welfare.
