Funding Priorities
During its early decades, the Leland Fikes Foundation funded a broad array of causes. More recently, the Foundation has intentionally narrowed its focus and now primarily supports organizations concentrated in three major fields.
- Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice: The Foundation supports a range of strategies to improve access to reproductive healthcare.
- Civic Engagement: They seek to strengthen a free, inclusive, and transparent democracy. This work includes support for public policy, advocacy, litigation, civic engagement, and expanding voting access.
- Dallas-Area Human Services: They support their local community though a variety of social service organizations addressing community needs such as housing, food, employment, and physical and mental health.
Just as systemic racism and other structural inequities permeate all areas of society, they seek to further equity through all areas of their grantmaking. Applicants should be prepared to share how racial equity informs their program development and implementation. They are committed to listening, learning, collaborating, and deepening their work to combat racism and injustice in each of their stated priority areas.
Eligibility Criteria
The Foundation supports only 501(c)(3) organizations, and does not provide funding to individuals or politically partisan groups.
