The foundation’s grants supported camps and outdoor experiences, STEM programming, and community services, with 99% of 2025 grant dollars going to Texas; grants typically had a median of $4,000, though amounts varied widely. Its 2024 filing described an application process, but the foundation later merged and transferred its assets effective September 30, 2025, so those instructions are not current and it appears to have wound down.
