Ideal Applicant
A small charity, school, library, or faith-based group running education or scholarship programs for children of military families (especially in Texas) seeking modest project support.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on education or scholarships for military families and their children.
- • Project or program funding requests in the small grant range (around $1k–$3k).
- • Local presence or clear ties to Texas communities served by the foundation.
- • Simple, well-documented proposals that match the foundation’s stated purposes.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year covered two states (Texas and Vermont), but 70% of the dollars were concentrated in Texas, indicating a primarily in‑state focus with occasional out‑of‑state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct, independent recipients (a parish school, a fellowship of Christian athletes, and a public library) and two new grantees that year, suggesting a moderate variety of small local recipients for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes an Apply Now page, form, and submissions email and also funded two new recipients in 2024, but filings state the funder only supports preselected applicants, so public application availability and selective, relationship‑oriented practice are both evident; direct long‑term turnover evidence is limited.
