Kate Family Foundation
The organization is a private foundation focused on community support and urban missions. Its mission is inferred from its funding patterns, which prioritize grants for community development, food banks, and human services, particularly in urban areas. The foundation serves a variety of causes, including literacy, food security, and social services, demonstrating a commitment to improving the lives of individuals in need. While it operates in multiple states, its funding appears to be concentrated in Texas and Oklahoma.

Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized community-focused nonprofit (especially in Texas or Oklahoma) providing human services, food security, literacy, or urban mission work, with an existing relationship or local intermediary connection.
Good Fit
- • Provides community-centered human services or urban-missions work.
- • Operates in Texas or Oklahoma (or has a demonstrated local partnership there).
- • Seeks modest grants in the typical $1,000–$6,000 range.
- • Has a prior relationship or referral from a local county/community foundation or trustee contact.
Geography
Grants span four states (notably Texas, Oklahoma, Connecticut, California) but are concentrated geographically — about half of giving went to Texas in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows nine distinct independent recipients (10 grants total), which indicates a moderate spread of beneficiaries for a micro private foundation, though the same nine appear in both observed years.
New Applicants
Observed giving across two years funded the identical set of nine organizations and the foundation explicitly lists funding as preselected, so unsolicited new applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
