Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to strengthen the community through civic leadership and to encourage philanthropy by providing community knowledge and reliable stewardship to those who wish to fulfill their charitable goals in a meaningful way—either during or beyond their lifetimes.”
Its website lists grantmaking in animal welfare and equine therapy, nonprofit capacity building, first responders, land conservation, opportunity and access, and scholarships. It describes the BEACON Fund as supporting community development in historically disinvested neighborhoods. The foundation also awards grants from fields-of-interest and unrestricted endowments, as well as designated and donor-advised funds.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of grantees. Saving Hope Animal Rescue Fund describes its work as rescuing abused, neglected, or abandoned animals and finding them adoptive homes. East Texas Veterans Community Council says it connects military and civilian resources to support veterans and their families. Mosaic Counseling Centers of East Texas describes its work as uniting mind, body, and spirit through counseling, connection, and community. New Leaf Community Services says it builds permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.
Grantmaking
The 2024 filing lists 872 grants totaling $41,298,422. Grant amounts ranged from $5,100 to $1,500,000, with a median of $14,250. Separately, the foundation reported that grants and scholarships together totaled more than $45 million in 2024 and that it awarded scholarships to 30 students for university education. Scholarship payments go to educational institutions, not directly to students.
Among the largest grants reported for 2024 were $1,500,000 to Saving Hope Animal Rescue Fund for general purposes; $1,050,000 to Texas Health Resources Foundation for the Morris Meditation Garden Endowment; and $1,000,000 each to Children’s Advocacy Center of Smith County for general operations support, East Texas Veterans Community Council for Camp V, Mentoring Alliance for general operations support, and Mosaic Counseling Centers of East Texas to eliminate debt on its office building. Other listed awards included $950,000 to New Leaf Community Services for the Camp Bowie West project and $988,800 to an individual recipient in Texas to support FWISD Leadership Academy Network schools.
The foundation makes both competitive grants and donor-advised grants. Competitive grant proposals are submitted through its online grants portal and reviewed by volunteer committees of community leaders and subject-matter experts. Donor-advised grants are recommended by donors and awarded by the foundation on their behalf; nonprofits cannot apply for these funds. The website says these grants represent over half of the foundation’s annual grant distribution.
The website lists ToolBox grants for nonprofit capacity building, as well as grant opportunities related to land conservation and the Anita Berry Martin Memorial Fund’s land conservation, equine therapy, and equine welfare areas. It says the 2026 ToolBox cycle is no longer accepting applications and directs nonprofits to check back for updates in 2027. The Better Together Fund program description details pandemic-response and recovery grantmaking, including activity through 2021.
