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
- Childhood obesity awareness through youth-serving community nonprofits
- Dallas-area youth organizations: Boys & Girls Clubs, YMCA, United Way
- National network partners promoting healthy kids (Alliance for a Healthier Generation)
- Nutrition education and cooking programs for children and families
- Latino and underserved family health programs (Servicios de la Raza, The Concilio)
- Food access tied to child health (North Texas Food Bank)
Typical grant
Almost everything is a flat $25,000 check, with a secondary tier of $10,000 for smaller Dallas-area groups. There is essentially no variation: the middle half of grants sits at exactly $25,000, and the only outlier is a single $3,627 payment. Giving is highly repetitive, with roughly a dozen organizations receiving the same amount in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY”
- “childhood obesity”
- “awareness”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame the work as increasing awareness of childhood obesity among children and families, not as clinical or academic research.
- Ask for $25,000, or $10,000 if you are a smaller Dallas-area organization. Larger requests have no precedent.
- Emphasize direct programming with kids: activity, nutrition education, after-school delivery, not publications or trials.
- Lead with Dallas-Fort Worth reach if you have it, or a strong local youth-serving partner in another metro they already fund.
Worth knowing: This is a tightly closed, relationship-driven portfolio: 19 recipients across three years, most receiving identical renewals, and the roster barely changed. New entrants are rare, so a cold approach is a long shot unless you can connect through an existing grantee or the corporate network behind the foundation in Richardson, Texas.
