Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is to assist in, create, equip, or provide for the maintenance or expansion of programs within exempt organizations. Its website says those programs should, as the directors deem appropriate, operate consistently with historic Judea-Christian principles and with protecting and enhancing private-property rights, free enterprise, and minimizing government’s role in individuals’ affairs. The foundation was established to primarily benefit children under 18 in Nueces County and surrounding counties.
The foundation’s website says applications must focus on initiatives supporting children aged 18 and under. It considers applications from IRS-recognized public charities, not private foundations, and requires applicants to submit their most recent signed and filed Form 990 with Schedule A. The website says funds must be used for the religious, educational, scientific, literary, or charitable purposes specified in the application.
Its 2025 grants illustrate support for youth outreach, education, childcare, food, recreation, and housing. For example, Tennis Success says it enriches the lives of at-risk youth through tennis, education, and healthy-living programs, including after-school programs and tuition assistance for graduating students. Foster Angels of South Texas Foundation says its sole purpose is enriching the lives of children in foster care in South Texas. New Life Refuge Ministries says it educates about sex trafficking, provides a therapeutic home for underage victims, and partners with others to help victims and bring justice. These are descriptions of the grantees’ missions.
