Ideal Applicant
Small, local Texas nonprofits (community groups, volunteer fire departments, senior centers, local human services) with direct ties or referrals into the De Leon/Comanche area community network.
Good Fit
- • Local presence in De Leon/Comanche or surrounding Texas counties.
- • Mission focused on community services, volunteer fire departments, or senior services.
- • Small funding ask in the $500–$3,000 range.
- • An existing relationship or referral from a board member or previously funded local organization.
Geography
Observed grants in every available year were made solely within Texas, with the foundation's in-state share at 100% and recipients concentrated in the De Leon/Comanche area.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple distinct local nonprofits across years (11 recipients in 2022, 3 in 2023, 5 in 2024) and those recipients appear to be independent community groups rather than affiliated entities, indicating a moderate breadth for a microfoundation.
New Applicants
The filings explicitly indicate the funder supports only preselected applicants; although several new recipients appear in recent years, the lack of a public application process and the 'preselected' restriction make it unlikely that an unfamiliar applicant could enter the portfolio without an invitation or referral.
