Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Foster care, child abuse advocacy and prevention in North Texas
Children with disabilities, in Dallas and in Africa
Christian mission work abroad: anti-trafficking, WASH, pediatric surgery
Capital campaigns for Dallas institutions and youth facilities
Out-of-school time and faith-based education in under-resourced Dallas neighborhoods
Children's behavioral health and counseling access; animal welfare and service dogs

Typical grant

Median grant is $75,000 and the middle half runs $30,000 to $187,500, so most of the portfolio is modest general operations and program support. The very large checks, from $1 million to $40 million, go almost entirely to capital campaigns and to a small set of long-term partners like Children's Medical Center Foundation, CURE International, International Justice Mission, and Living Water. Repeat giving is the norm: 536 grants went to 271 recipients over three years, and several organizations appear multiple times in a single year for different purposes.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“general operations”
“children with disabilities”
“capital campaign”
“children who have been abused”
“out-of-school time programming”
“under-resourced”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to foster care, child abuse response, or disability services; those themes recur across grant sizes and years.
Ask $75,000 to $250,000 for a first program or general operations request, not a capital number.
Name the county or neighborhood served. They fund Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton by name.
For international work, tie to Ethiopia, India, Uganda, Zambia, Burundi, Malawi, or Kenya, where they already fund.

Worth knowing: This is a Dallas-Fort Worth foundation first: 469 of 536 grants went to Texas recipients, and the out-of-state money mostly follows Christian mission organizations working in Africa and India. Giving is clearly relationship-driven, with the Rees-Jones name on funded facilities and centers, and a handful of anchor grantees absorbing most of the dollars.
