Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized Texas-based charities (including faith-based schools and direct assistance programs) seeking one-time or program support, or individuals/families needing documented indigent assistance.
Good Fit
- • Primary operations or programs in Texas, especially the Houston area.
- • Work in education, faith-based services, or direct assistance to indigent individuals/families.
- • Ability to submit a short written request using the foundation's standardized form and meet quarterly deadlines.
- • Requests sized to typical grants (mostly small-to-mid amounts under $50K).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Texas: roughly 90% of dollars went to in-state recipients in the latest year, and grants were observed in only three states overall.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 33 distinct recipients with 24 new grantees, and the foundation supported many independent charities and individual assistance cases; while the top five captured a large share of dollars, the count of unique recipients is high.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence favors new entrants—24 new recipients in 2024—and the foundation provides a public, written application route with quarterly deadlines and a PO Box/phone contact, indicating realistic access for unfamiliar applicants.
