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

  • County indigent care pools and Local Provider Participation Funds
  • Safety net support corporations in Dallas and Tarrant counties
  • Chambers of commerce in hospital service-area suburbs
  • School district education foundations and PTA groups
  • Dallas civic, arts and youth institutions at $10,000 or less
  • Hospital trade associations and physician societies

Typical grant

Two completely different scales. Indigent care transfers run from $984,000 to $46.2 million and go to five recurring county entities, and they account for essentially all the dollars. Everything else is community outreach at a median of $10,000, with the middle half between $7,500 and $20,000, and the same chambers, ISD foundations and civic groups reappear year after year at similar amounts.

Their words

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

  • INDIGENT CARE
  • Community Outreach
  • advocacy
  • Local Provider Participation Fund
  • Safety Net Support

Positioning adjacent work

  • Ask $7,500 to $25,000. Nothing outside the indigent care pools exceeded $100,000 in this record.
  • Anchor to a specific service-area city: Midlothian, Southlake, Mansfield, Richardson, Celina, Waxahachie, Oak Cliff.
  • Frame work as community outreach with visible local presence, not as research or program evaluation.
  • Partner with an ISD education foundation or chamber already on their list rather than approaching cold.

Worth knowing: Roughly 99 percent of the dollars are statutory indigent care transfers to county funds and safety net corporations, not competitive philanthropy, so the real discretionary pool is under $1 million a year spread across dozens of $10,000 checks. The pattern is relationship and geography driven: chamber memberships, sponsorships and school foundation drives in the suburbs where the hospitals operate, with only two out-of-state grants in three years, both $10,000 to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Top recipients

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