Ideal Applicant
A mid‑to‑large local or regional nonprofit (especially in Midland, TX) with programs in community services, health, faith‑based outreach, youth development, or regional cultural initiatives and an existing introduction or local credibility.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Texas (Midland area) or has a clear regional connection.
- • Work aligns with community services, health, faith‑based programming, education, or regional cultural events.
- • Track record or local introduction that can produce a preselection/invitation.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the $10K–$400K range and to report on use of funds.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Texas (about 69% of dollars in 2024) but grants also went to organizations in at least three other states, so the footprint is state‑focused with some multi‑state reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 29 distinct recipients with 19 new recipients that year and 10 repeat grantees across the observed years, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Behavioral data show the foundation does add many new grantees (19 new in 2024), but the stated policy that only preselected applicants are funded and the absence of a public online application mean an unfamiliar applicant is unlikely to access funding without a referral or invitation.
