Summary
Grants focused on mental health and community well‑being. The funding is available to nonprofits (and in some cases governmental or higher‑education institutions) whose offices or affiliates are based in Texas. The intent is to support work that strengthens mental‑health resilience, advances research, education or innovation, and fosters policy engagement or community‑driven transformation.
Several grant tracks exist. One large initiative awards up to about $375,000 over multiple years (e.g., up to $75,000 annually for five years) for nonprofits located in rural or border communities in Texas, addressing mental‑health outcomes through community‑driven design. Another track provides smaller “mini‑grants” of $2,500 each for small scale projects aligned with the foundation’s priorities. There is also a fellowship grant that supports hiring a policy fellow: it covers salary, benefits, mentor stipend and development travel, though the exact dollar amount varies depending on salary.
Applicants must be Texas‑based organizations (or Texas affiliates of larger organizations) and must serve communities within the state. The grants use a competitive RFP application process rather than unsolicited proposals. Eligible entities typically must have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (or a higher‑education institution, or government entity when specified) and demonstrate alignment with the foundation’s mission around community‑level mental‑health change, upstream solutions, innovation, and equity.
The funds can be used for various purposes depending on the specific track: from program implementation, policy engagement, research, capacity‑building, or hiring a fellow; they are not limited to traditional direct service models. The foundation emphasizes flexibility, strategic collaboration, and community‑rooted solutions. For any interested organization, it’s wise to review the specific RFP for deadlines and eligibility details when posted.
