Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-size charities with programs in food security, health, youth services, animal welfare or community service that match the foundation’s giving profile and can be introduced or nominated through a corporate or employee connection.
Good Fit
- • Has program work in food banks, health charities, youth development, or animal welfare (areas seen in recent grants).
- • Can accept smaller general operating or project grants (typical awards are modest).
- • Has an existing relationship, introduction, or partnership with Skyward Specialty Insurance staff or corporate giving contacts.
- • Operates in a state where the foundation has recently granted (national reach but certain states see larger shares).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached roughly 22 states, with significant out-of-state giving and multiple large shares across different states, indicating a multi-state/national footprint despite the foundation being based in Texas.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 90 distinct recipients with 55 newly funded organizations and 35 returning grantees, and a large number of small-to-midsize awards, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's scale.
New Applicants
Although 55 new organizations appeared in 2024, the foundation publicly states it funds only preselected organizations; that public restriction makes unsolicited applicants unlikely to enter the portfolio without a nomination, despite observed newcomer counts.
