Ideal Applicant

Small to mid-sized faith‑based nonprofits or church ministries, especially those based in Texas (and particularly the Denton/Dallas area), with an established local presence or prior relationship with the foundation.

Good Fit

  • Religious or faith‑based mission (churches, ministry partners, theological education).
  • Located in Texas, preferably Denton/Dallas metro area.
  • Evidence of prior contact, past funding, or a local connection to foundation leadership.
  • Request sizes in the small‑to‑mid range (roughly $1K–$50K).
  • Programs serving community, youth, or women within a faith context.

Geography

Moderate

Giving is heavily concentrated in Texas (about 87% of dollars) but the foundation made grants to recipients across five states in the latest year, indicating a primarily in‑state focus with occasional out‑of‑state awards.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The funder supported roughly 21–26 distinct independent recipients each year, so the observed recipient set is broad for a small private foundation even though dollars are concentrated among a few top grantees.

New Applicants

Restrictive

Behavior across three years shows very high repeat funding (95% returning recipients in 2024) and only one new grantee that year; although a mailed/phone application route exists, the giving pattern appears relationship‑driven and new entrants look unlikely to break in frequently.
