Ideal Applicant
Small to midsize mission-driven organizations—especially faith-based or community mission projects—seeking one-time or short-term grants in the $10k–$25k range and willing to engage by phone or mailed inquiry.
Good Fit
- • Request aligns with a faith-based or mission-focused activity
- • Budget request in the $10,000–25,000 range
- • Ability to make a direct mailed or phone contact to a named director
- • A connection to Texas or a plausible regional tie to the foundation
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to two states (Florida and Texas), with the foundation based in Texas and 63% of 2024 dollars going out-of-state to Florida, indicating a small multi-state footprint rather than a strictly local focus.
Recipient Variety
The most recent active year shows only two distinct recipients, both appearing independent, so the observed recipient set is small for the foundation's giving year.
New Applicants
Both 2024 recipients were new to the recorded portfolio and public application information plus a mailed contact are present, but the funder's short visible history and very small grant count make long-term openness uncertain.
