Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized or local 501(c)(3) nonprofits, especially Texas-based organizations working in health, education, community services, veterans, or child welfare, requesting modest to mid-range grants and able to provide detailed financials and board information.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a registered 501(c)(3).
- • Primary programs serve Texas communities or have a clear Texas connection.
- • Request size aligns with the foundation's typical small-to-mid grants (many under $5K, average about $4.6K, with some up to $50K).
- • Ability to supply recent budgets, financial statements, and board/salary information as requested.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or local credibility that could place the organization on the foundation's preselected list.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Texas (about 84% of dollars) but includes recipients across 18 states, so the footprint is primarily state-focused rather than purely local or national.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 92 distinct recipients across many program areas (health, education, community services, veterans, arts, scholarships), indicating a broad recipient set for the observed year.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly reports that grants are only made to preselected organizations, and direct evidence of recipient turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed; although a website and application instructions exist, the declared preselection practice makes it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can reliably enter the portfolio.
