Mission & Focus Areas

The group return’s stated mission is to make grants for charitable purposes to community organizations and schools on behalf of students for scholarships, and to individuals for intern stipends. Its 2024 filing describes the Richmond Family Foundation as making matching grants to a selected public charity; the Gunn Family Foundation as making charitable grants to public charities; the Rapier Education Foundation as granting college scholarships to Bexar County participants; and Friends of Carver/Academy as supporting education charities and graduating high school students through grants and scholarships. The filing also describes City Education Partners as working with public, private, and charter school networks to support high-quality education in San Antonio, and Choose to Succeed as supporting the growth of high-quality schools through investments and thought partnership.

The Foundation’s website identifies Cultural Vibrancy, Livable and Resilient Communities, Successful Aging, Youth Success, and Animal Services as its primary grantmaking impact areas. It says its Responsive Grants provide two-year general operating support and that it also supports nonprofits through capacity building, peer learning, and strategic partnerships.

Education is prominent among the 2024 recipients. For example, Futuro Education San Antonio says its mission is to ensure San Antonio children have access to excellent public education and greater prosperity. Compass Rose Education says it aims to prepare students for college, while Celebrate Dyslexia describes work to educate and empower people with dyslexia. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the group return’s.
