Ideal Applicant
A small local nonprofit (often faith-based or direct-service) based in Texas seeking modest general-support or project funding and able to make a concise written or phone request.
Good Fit
- • Local or regional presence in Texas (Boerne/Kendall County area or nearby).
- • Faith-based institutions, food banks, shelters, job-training or basic-needs service providers.
- • Requesting modest one-time operating or project support (typical grants are $1K–$15K).
- • Ability to submit a brief written or verbal request describing purpose and use of funds.
Geography
The funder concentrates most dollars in Texas (about 88% in the latest year) but made a few small out-of-state grants, yielding a state-level footprint with limited out-of-state activity.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 18 distinct recipients (and 13–16 in prior years) across churches, shelters, food pantries, job programs and similar nonprofits; this is a fairly broad set of independent local recipients despite moderate dollar concentration among top grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness exists: the foundation states applications are accepted at any time with a written or verbal request and a mailing/phone contact is provided, and the latest year included four new recipients, indicating newcomers can and do enter the portfolio.
