Ideal Applicant
A Texas-based, mission-aligned nonprofit (often faith-affiliated or education-focused) with existing local credibility or connections to the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Operates or serves communities in Texas (local presence emphasized).
- • Faith-based education, religious school, or scholarship program alignment.
- • Established community service, disability support, or local outreach program.
- • Referral or relationship with a current or past grantee or a foundation officer.
Geography
Giving is geographically narrow: roughly 97% of dollars went to Texas recipients and grants were observed in only two states, with a strong in‑state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 12 distinct independent organizations across education, faith-based institutions, disability services, and community groups, with nine of those grantees recurring from prior years.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates an invite-only/preselected application practice, which suggests unsolicited applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio, although a small number of new grantees have appeared in recent years.
