We give priority to agencies and programs that:

  • Focus on systemic change
  • Re-define or re-frame the issues in ways that support and accelerate progress
  • Are collaborative in nature so that resources are shared and the impact is multiplied
  • Have sound management and are efficient with their use of funds
  • Address more than one of our focus areas

We do not consider grants for individuals, deficit financing nor proposals made within a year of an organization’s or entity’s previous request.

Grant proposals should be submitted using The Common Grant Application, which is available through Communities Foundation of Texas. Invitations for applications can be made at any time throughout the year.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”home_features_ext”][vc_column el_class=”container”][vc_column_text el_class=”focus_areas_title”]
