Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit located in rural counties of Texas (outside Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston), New Mexico, or Oklahoma that serves children and youth, older adults, people with disabilities, or addresses food insecurity and requests general operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Based in rural counties of TX, NM, or OK (foundation preference).
- • Programs focused on children/youth, seniors, disability services, or hunger relief.
- • Asking for general operating support or modest capital/capacity funds in the typical $10K–$50K band.

Geography
Observed giving is regionally concentrated: the foundation funds across multiple states but primarily in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, with about 76% of dollars to Texas in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (304 distinct grantees) and multi-year activity of 256–304 grants per year, indicating broad institutional variety despite dollar concentration in a single large award.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence supports newcomer access: roughly half of the 2024 recipients were new (152 new grantees), and the foundation publishes an online application portal plus explicit instructions for first‑time applicants.
