Mission & Focus Areas
The mission stated in the organization’s filing is to improve the health and well-being of neighbors in the communities it serves in Oklahoma and Texas. The filing describes its grantmaking as supporting qualifying entities that promote the health of residents in its four-county region.
For the 2026 community grant cycle, the foundation identified two priorities: access to mental health care, healthcare, or healthy living; and measurably increasing or retaining the number of nurses in the four counties. It said it takes particular interest in projects addressing both. The foundation welcomes applications from nonprofit entities, including 501(c)(3) organizations, churches, schools, and other community agents, provided they serve residents in at least one of the four counties.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of grantees. Community Well TX says its mission is to help people of all ages in Fannin County feel comfortable seeking behavioral health support and finding resources. The Child and Family Guidance Center of Texoma describes its work as strengthening children and families through mental healthcare, while Greater Texoma Health Clinic says it provides health and wellness services regardless of ability to pay. Other 2025 grantees include organizations whose stated missions concern shelter, child safety, nursing education, and youth development.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the foundation reported 59 grants totaling $3,991,179. Grant amounts ranged from $9,230 to $872,813, with a median of $20,000. The foundation’s website reports an average award of $30,455 in the 2025–2026 grant cycle.
Among the largest 2025 grants were $872,813 to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund for program/project support; $793,519 to the City of Denison for THF Park construction; $353,369 to Region 10 Education Service Center and $324,802 to Community Well TX for program/project support; and $170,000 to Open Arms Shelter as an emergency grant award. Sweet Relief Musicians Fund says it provides financial assistance and case management to qualified musicians facing age-related or medical expenses. Open Arms Shelter describes its work as providing temporary shelter and guidance toward independent living.
The foundation’s filing describes a three-phase review involving independent review, application scoring, discussion and review of area needs, project potential impact, financial strength, and available foundation funds. It says selected grantees must provide a mid-year status report and a year-end final report. The current website describes a first-phase application, an invitation for eligible applicants to submit a full application, and subsequent award decisions. For the 2026 cycle, the foundation removed the budget section; it says proposals are evaluated on project strength, community need, and equitable impact across the four-county service area.
