We invest in solutions, initiatives, and partnerships that significantly improve community health and well-being.
How we help
Life in East Texas is rooted in connection. When those connections are strong, people thrive. The Foundation recognizes that sustainable improvements in Youth Resilience and Thriving Communities are driven by locally informed, collaborative solutions. We are committed to partnering with organizations that demonstrate a deep understanding of our community needs, employ evidence-informed and innovative approaches, and engage residents and stakeholders in meaningful ways. We know there is no one-size-fits-all answer, only collective effort grounded in evidence and a shared commitment to improving lives.
Where we fund
Our work focuses on impacting Smith County and surrounding communities. We believe that strategic grant-making is best done in collaboration with East Texans and the communities where they live and work.
