Ideal Applicant
A small-to-medium nonprofit focused on education, youth development, or athletics in North Texas (or with ties to the Dallas/Tulsa region) that can be introduced via an existing grantee, intermediary, or a personal connection to the trustees.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in Dallas/North Texas or has an established program there.
- • Mission aligns with secondary education, tuition assistance, scholarships, or youth sports.
- • Has an existing relationship with local schools, athletic programs, or previously funded nonprofits.
- • Can be nominated or introduced by an intermediary (community foundation, school, or past grantee).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in one state: roughly 71% of 2024 dollars went to Texas, with smaller shares to Oklahoma and Indiana; three states received funding in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients across schools, hospitals and community foundations with seven recurring grantees and four new ones, indicating a moderate spread despite financial concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants; although four new recipients appeared in 2024, there is no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funding without a nomination or relationship.
