The Meadows Foundation:
The Meadows Foundation exists to enrich the lives of the people of Texas. The Foundation aims for accessibility, cordiality, objectivity, fairness and professionalism in all of its dealings with the public. Under the terms of its charter, the Meadows Foundation can distribute grants only to qualified public entities or 501(c)(3) charities serving the people of Texas. The Foundation neither lends nor grants money to individuals.
Grants are made in five areas:
- Arts and Culture
- Civic and Public Affairs (including the natural environment)
- Education (The Foundation is particularly interested in projects and programs which improve the educational outcomes of Texas children.)
- Health (including Mental Health)
- Human Services
The Foundation provides funding assistance throughout the state of Texas but tries to allocate between one-third and one-half of its grants resources to organizations helping those in the Dallas area. The goal is that, over time, each community in the state may benefit from a Foundation grant. If possible, one-half of grants awarded each year are given to organizations not previously supported. Grant applications for specific programs or projects, capital projects or, less often, general operations are considered. Endowment gifts are rare. The Foundation also considers program-related investments as part of its grant making activities.
The Foundation strives to be responsive to the needs of all eligible organizations and considers requests of any amount. There is no formal application form. Grant applications are accepted at any time throughout the year. Each organization is limited to one application within a twelve-month period. Applications are usually processed within three to four months. For more information contact the Foundation.
In general, grants are not made for purposes of:
- Church or seminary construction
- Annual fund-raising events or general sustentation drives
- Professional conferences and symposia
- Out-of-state performances or competition expenses
For your convenience, downloadable and online grant application forms are available here . Please do not attempt to attach files to online applications.
Hogg Foundation:
The mission of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health is to develop, support, evaluate, and promote culturally relevant services, research and evaluation, public policies, and public education of mental health issues. The Foundation is pleased to announce a Special Mental Health Services Initiative (SMHSI).
We are requesting proposals (RFP) only from non-profit mental health organizations (public and private) that are currently providing direct mental health services to children, adults, or families.
We anticipate that grants will be in the range of $50,000 - $100,000 for a period of one year. The goal of the RFP is to provide short-term financial support for direct service delivery in a period of declining and uncertain funding. Proposals are due no later than January 31, 2005.
The Request for Proposals is available here . You can read more about the initiative in an article from the Austin Business Journal here.
