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

Homeless shelters, food pantries, crisis and family services in Texas
Youth programs: YMCAs, camps, foster care, Big Brothers Big Sisters
Christian and small private colleges across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas
Regional hospital foundations and safety-net clinics in Missouri and Kansas
Faith-based ministries serving women, addiction recovery, and abuse survivors

Typical grant

The median award is $600,000 and the middle half falls between roughly $232,000 and $1.36 million, with $2,000,000 acting as a visible ceiling. The biggest checks go to universities, children's hospitals, large YMCAs and metro-scale outreach organizations; the smallest go to rural food pantries, a volunteer fire department, and single-site shelters. Repeat giving is uncommon, with 401 grants spread across 374 recipients in four years, so plan on a one-time award rather than a renewing line.

Their words

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

“COMMUNITY OUTREACH”
“YOUTH DEVELOPMENT”
“HEALTHCARE”
“EDUCATION”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor the ask to a facility or site serving Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas or Arkansas.
Ask between $500,000 and $2,000,000 in round numbers; smaller asks read as rural, single-site projects.
Frame research as youth development, community outreach or healthcare delivery, not as a study or pilot.
Name the county and population served; nearly every grantee is identifiable with one town.

Worth knowing: Five states take almost all the money, with Texas alone at 177 of 401 grants and Midland-area organizations recurring, plus occasional spillover into New Mexico and Colorado. The near absence of repeat recipients and the round dollar amounts point to one-time, project-scale awards rather than ongoing operating relationships.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
