Ideal Applicant
A Texas-based 501(c)(3) public charity seeking general support or project funding and able to follow the foundation's application form and mail-based supporting document requirements.
Good Fit
- • Located in Texas and eligible under 501(c)(3) rules.
- • Programs in food security, homeless services, education, cultural institutions, or youth services (areas frequently funded).
- • Capacity to submit the foundation's application form by email and send supporting documents by mail by Feb 15.
- • Budget and program scale suited to typical grants in the $10K–$120K range, with many awards near $25K–$50K.
Geography
Observed grantmaking across the available years is entirely within Texas; the latest year shows a single-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 99 distinct recipients through 106 grants, with 67 new grantees and a modest dollar concentration (top five ≈13%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports newcomer access: the website provides application instructions and a deadline, a named contact and mailing route are published, and the latest year included a high number of new recipients (67), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
