Ideal Applicant
A Texas-based 501(c)(3) serving older adults (meals, in-home care, housing stability, repairs, hospice, community senior programs) seeking program or operating support.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on seniors or elder services in Texas.
- • Registration as a Texas public charity (501(c)(3)).
- • Requests that match typical grant sizes ($10k–$100k, with some larger awards observed).
- • Clear program outcomes and local community partnerships or service delivery in Houston-area or other Texas communities.
- • Willingness to provide documentation and engage by phone or site visit.
Geography
All observed grants across the available years were made to organizations in Texas, and the foundation is based in Houston, giving an entirely in-state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 73 distinct recipients (with similar multi-year counts of 66 and 38), a large number of new grantees in 2024, and only modest dollar concentration among top recipients, indicating a broadly distributed recipient set.
New Applicants
A clear public application form, published instructions and deadline, a named contact, and 51 new recipients in 2024 together indicate that unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to enter the portfolio.
