Texas Capital Foundation takes a place-based approach to grantmaking, focusing on nonprofit organizations that operate in under-resourced areas.
The annual Texas Capital Foundation Honors Grants will be a competitive grant application process, resulting in four grants:
- Live Award: Supporting access to nutritious food
- The focus of this grant is innovative, sustainable access to fresh food for food-insecure populations. Many under-resourced communities are also food deserts: without convenient, consistent access to fresh, nutritious food. Texas Capital Foundation is looking for programs that offer creative solutions to provide access to food where it is otherwise lacking.
- Award Amount: $50,000 award
- Learn Award: Supporting career readiness certification programs
- Texas Capital Foundation will fund a program that offers training and certifications in ‘middle skills’, giving individuals opportunities to obtain well-paying skilled jobs with growth potential.
- Award Amount: $50,000 award
- Lift Award: Supportive services for women and children
- Through this grant, Texas Capital Foundation aims to help the most vulnerable women and girls find stability through support services and housing.
- Award Amount: $50,000 award
- STAR Award: Supporting services for veterans and military families
