This grant opportunity provides funding designed to strengthen the well-being of communities across Texas. It is specifically available to nonprofit organizations that are legally recognized as charitable entities and are committed to serving residents of the state. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible, ensuring the support is focused on mission-driven organizations that can bring about meaningful and lasting impact.
The funding supports projects in a wide range of areas including education, healthcare, human services, and cultural enrichment. Educational initiatives might include after-school programs, teacher development, or college readiness, while healthcare support may assist clinics, technology upgrades, or outreach to underserved populations. Human service projects can focus on family stability, housing, or disability services, while cultural efforts may bring arts, music, or museum experiences to the public. While some grants are open to programs across the state, projects in human services and culture are more often limited to the Fort Worth area and nearby communities.
Grant awards vary in size, making it possible for organizations both large and small to apply for support that fits their specific needs. Some grants have reached as high as three million dollars, though many are smaller, depending on the scope of the project and the alignment with the program’s priorities. This allows both major initiatives and smaller community-based efforts to receive assistance.
Applications are reviewed twice a year, with opportunities to submit proposals in both the spring and fall. Because of this, organizations have multiple chances annually to be considered for funding. The program’s intent is to empower organizations to expand their reach, strengthen essential services, and create opportunities that benefit people throughout Texas. By offering this support, the grants ensure that resources are invested where they can make the most difference in education, health, cultural vitality, and human well-being.
