Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize charities working in food distribution, immigrant/asylum services, international relief, child health, or museum-related programming, especially those that can accept ~$10k–$20k awards and can submit a concise mailed letter.
Good Fit
- • Programs in food distribution, immigrant legal services, international humanitarian relief, child health/cancer, or museums.
- • Ability to manage a typical grant size around $10k–$20k.
- • Willingness to follow an offline submission route (mailed letter to the named contact).
- • Either a presence in Texas or a program with demonstrable alignment to the foundation’s prior national grantees.
Geography
In the latest year grants were made across seven states and roughly two-thirds of dollars went out of state while about one-third stayed in Texas, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a purely local funder.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about nine distinct recipients in 2024 and made similar counts in prior years; many grantees recur (eight repeated across years), so the portfolio is moderately broad but relatively stable rather than highly expansive.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is mixed: 2023 showed multiple new grantees while 2024 added only one new recipient, and the foundation publishes a clear letter-submission route—so unfamiliar applicants can sometimes enter but selection appears relationship-influenced.
