Mission & Focus Areas
The mission stated in EHF’s filing is “To advance the Kingdom of God with specific focus on human health and well-being, through grants, research and initiatives in support of the mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas.” EHF’s website describes its Strategic Framework 2025–2030 as organizing its work around three action areas: Health and Health Care Services, Healthy Communities, and a third area not fully specified in the available page text. The website lists impact drivers that include strengthening comprehensive care, accelerating innovative health financing, activating community voices, maximizing connections to health coverage and benefits, supporting community health workers, and promoting multi-sector collaboration. It also identifies food and nutrition security, maternal health, and diabetes prevention as priorities for change.
EHF makes grants to qualified nonprofit organizations and governmental entities. Its 2024 grantees illustrate the range of supported work: Lone Star Circle of Care describes its mission as providing accessible, patient-centered health care for underserved Texas neighbors; Texans Care for Children says it works to shape public policies and make children a statewide priority; and an individual recipient Labor Support says it supports under-supported birthing people to improve birth outcomes and strengthen families.
Grantmaking
In 2024, EHF reported 158 grants totaling $37,898,875. Grant sizes ranged from $10,000 to $1,000,000, with a median of $200,000. Among the largest awards were $1,000,000 to Lone Star Circle of Care for “Work Upstream,” $915,000 to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas for “Support Comprehensive Clinics,” and $750,000 to Spindletop Center (MHMR) for “Support Change in Healthcare Financing.” Other awards included $650,000 to Texans Care for Children and $600,000 each to ECHOS-Epiphany Community Health Outreach Services, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and Vecino Health Centers.
EHF’s grant page says the Cycle 2 Letter of Inquiry period is closed and that the next competitive opportunity will be announced in Fall 2026. When an opportunity is active, the process begins with a brief Letter of Inquiry through the online grant application portal. Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt organizations with an IRS determination letter under Section 501(c)(3) or 170(c), and not private foundations under Section 509(a). Funded work must be implemented within the Episcopal Diocese of Texas’s 81-county service area. The grant page says EHF does not prioritize grants to individuals, conference or special-event costs, scholarships, or grants to schools for academic purposes.
