Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized 501(c)(3) focused on mindfulness, integrative health, compassionate community work, or related education projects seeking project-level support in the low- to mid-thousands of dollars.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with mindfulness, compassionate practice, integrative healthcare, or related youth/education programming.
- • Project budget and funding request in the $1,000–$10,000 range.
- • Can meet application requirements (project timeline, budget, leader bios, IRS nonprofit letter, and two community letters of support).
- • Willingness to submit by the published annual deadline and to receive one-time or needs-based grants.

Geography
Grants in the latest year reached organizations in five states and a Canadian province, though about half of dollars remained in Texas.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows twelve distinct grantees and the three-year record includes multiple independent recipients rather than a single dominant beneficiary, although dollars are partially concentrated among the top five grantees.
New Applicants
A clear public application process is published on the website, and the latest year included three new recipients; while many grantees are repeat awardees, observed behavior and posted instructions indicate genuine opportunity for unfamiliar applicants.
