Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize direct-service charities (food banks, veteran services, animal rescue, faith-based ministries, family crisis supports) seeking project or program grants in the $5K–$25K range, especially those with a Texas connection or clear service to veterans or needy families.
Good Fit
- • Direct service programs for food insecurity, veterans, or homeless assistance
- • Faith-based or community service organizations with local impact, especially in Texas
- • Project- or program-focused requests in the typical $5K–$25K grant band
- • Organizations able to document recent service delivery (program descriptions, budgets, outcomes)
- • Established 501(c)(3) charities or recognized national relief organizations
Geography
In the latest year the foundation funded recipients in roughly ten states and split dollars about 50/50 between in-state (Texas) and out-of-state; the footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 30 distinct recipients (following 22–26 in prior years) across many issue areas, with a mix of returning grantees and many new entrants, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new entrants: the foundation listed 17 new recipients in the latest year (57% of that year's grantees) and the filing includes application/contact details and a rolling submission process, so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can enter the portfolio.
