A Little About
Us...
Founded in the spring of 1976 as a
Western charitable organization, The Colt 45's basic goal was to
serve the Houston community as a charity while still having
a good time. In the recent past, community needs have changed.
The Colt 45's have kept pace with these changes, especially in
the area of AIDS and HIV. As a 501(c)(3) charity, we strive
to serve the Houston HIV/AIDS community by the best means
possible.
Our Charitable Funds
include...
 |
The
AIDS TroubleFund
|
|
The
Till Thacker, III Memorial Charity Fund.
|
The Colt 45's provide valuable charitable work with absolutely no
administrative costs attached. Each and every dollar donated
to the various Charitable Funds goes directly to help people
who need it most. The Colt 45's themselves bear the cost of
any administration so that this goal of 100% charity can be
maintained unequivocally.
We are an all-volunteer charity. Therefore, there are no
paid employees, nor do we retain the services of outside
consultants. Membership in the Colt 45's is open to anyone
with a big heart, regardless of any "label" you
might like to apply (such as age, sex, race, HIV status,
income, sexual orientation, etc.) Our current membership
roster includes active members, from all walks of life.
Our Office and Meeting space is graciously donated by our
home bar...

Thank you to the Ownership, Management and
Staff
for 33 great years and your continued support!
Moneys for all of The Colt 45's Charitable Funds are
obtained through voluntary contributions from corporations,
private individuals, organizations and/or local fund-raising
activities. We receive no governmental assistance of any
kind. We are proud to say that in the history of our
organization, through our charitable arms, The Colt 45's have distributed
well over $1,300,000 to help People With AIDS directly, with no administrative costs.
Please take your time and have a leisurely look at our web
