About this foundation

Rockwell Fund is a private foundation that in 2025 transitioned its grantmaking to a Community Development docket focused on Super Neighborhood 52 (Kashmere Gardens) and the greater Houston area. The site lists issue areas including community leadership, capacity building, flood resilience, housing, food access, health & wellness, mobility/parks/infrastructure, and education. The foundation states it generally makes grants to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations and does not give grants directly to individuals. Grant opportunities follow a quarterly review schedule; some opportunities are by invitation while others have open submission periods. All applications must be submitted through the foundation's online grants management system and applicants are required to create an online profile.
