Ideal Applicant
U.S.-based educational institutions or education-focused nonprofits (K–12 schools, colleges, universities) seeking project or program support in the typical range of the foundation's grants.
Good Fit
- • Primary mission in education or limited health-related educational programming.
- • Project budgets matching observed grant sizes (small to mid-sized awards, often $5K–$250K).
- • Willingness to submit a letter application that states amount requested and intended use.
- • Capacity to demonstrate alignment with corporate/employee giving priorities or a local Texas connection (helpful but not required).
Geography
Grants in the latest year were distributed across 16 states; while Texas received a large share (38%), the foundation funds organizations nationwide.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 53 distinct recipients and 54 grants, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set dominated by educational institutions rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes public application instructions and roughly half of grantees in the latest year being new (27 new recipients), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
