Ideal Applicant
A Texas-based small or mid-sized nonprofit working in arts, cancer/health research, or local human services that can responsibly manage grants in the $5K–$10K range and has local credibility or an introducer.
Good Fit
- • Located in Texas (in-state recipients received 100% of 2024 dollars).
- • Project fits arts, cancer research, or charitable assistance themes previously funded.
- • Needs modest, one-off or project-specific support in the typical $5K–$10K band.
- • Has a local connection, prior relationship, or referral to a foundation director.
Geography
Giving in the latest year was entirely within Texas, and the foundation’s filings show a Texas address and 100% in-state share for 2024.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct recipients, but three years of filings show a small mix of independent grantees (arts, cancer research, and charitable assistance) rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is mixed (2023 included several new grantees while 2024 shows returning recipients only), and a submission route is listed by name and address; that combination suggests new entrants are possible but selection appears relationship-influenced.
