About the Foundation
Honoring a legacy of love by investing in lives — locally in Bellville, Texas, and beyond.
“The Will and Bailee Byler Foundation exists to honor a legacy of love by investing in lives — locally in Bellville, Texas, and beyond — through compassionate giving, faithful service, and devoted family stewardship.”
Our Story
Established in 2020 by Bill and Kerri Byler, joined with Sharon and Shane Ackerman, in memory of their beloved children, the Foundation carries forward Will and Bailee's spirit through purposeful generosity rooted in faith, relationship, and care.
We believe that true impact is never transactional, it’s personal. We walk alongside the individuals and organizations we support, seeking firsthand understanding of their work and meeting real needs with kindness, integrity, and Christ-centered love.
Our Approach
We cultivate deep, meaningful partnerships with both established organizations and emerging programs — seeing beyond the gift to the relationship, and beyond the need to the person.
Whether addressing physical, educational, or spiritual needs, we are committed to being present, engaged, and faithful in every effort we undertake. As careful stewards of the blessings we have received, we focus our efforts where they matter most.
