Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized charity with an existing local or referral relationship to the foundation, especially Texas-based organizations working in churches, after‑school/youth programs, community services, or similar community-focused work.
Good Fit
- • Established presence or partnerships in Texas (particularly near Spicewood or regional communities).
- • Programs focused on youth development, after‑school activities, church ministry, or local community services.
- • Request sizes in the typical $5K–$25K range.
- • Introductions or referrals from current grantees or board contacts.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Texas (about 63% of dollars) but the foundation also funded organizations in three other states, totaling four states in the latest year; the footprint is regional with a clear in‑state emphasis.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct grantees, which is a moderate spread for a small private foundation, but the identical recipient list across two observed years and no turnover reduces evidence of broader recipient diversity.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows no new recipients across two years and the foundation’s materials state grants are made only to preselected applicants, making it unlikely an unfamiliar organization can enter the portfolio without an introduction.
