Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized religious or church-affiliated organizations, especially those with connections to the Texas faith community and programs matching modest award sizes ($1k–$25k).
Good Fit
- • Clear religious or church mission aligned with prior grantees.
- • Existing relationship or warm introduction to the foundation or current grantees.
- • Programs operating in Texas or serving communities within the foundation’s known states.
- • Request size in the foundation’s historical grant range (roughly $1,200–$25,000).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Texas (about three quarters of dollars in 2024) but the foundation funded organizations in five states in the latest year, indicating a primarily state-focused footprint with occasional out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct independent recipients and the three-year record includes multiple different grantees, but dollar awards are skewed toward a small set of top recipients, so variety is moderate rather than broad.
New Applicants
The foundation states grants are to preselected recipients and no public application route was found; although a few new grantees appear in the observed history, the selection pattern and stated invitation-only approach make unsolicited entry unlikely.
