Eligibility Criteria
Port Houston’s Grants Program is designed to embrace the diversity of their communities. They consider grant requests without regard to race, ethnicity, color, sex, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, disability, marital status, genetic information, veteran status, and other similar factors that may be protected by law.
While Port Houston has contributed to many nonprofit organizations in their communities, it is impossible to fund every request. In order to have the most meaningful impact, the Grants Program will focus on supporting projects and programs that closely tie to their outreach priorities.

- Document its status as a tax-exempt non-profit organization in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service
- Provide evidence of responsible management and an active board of directors or similar governing body, sound fiscal policies, long-range planning, and effective use of volunteers
- Propose a method of evaluating the results of the proposed project or program

- Produce a budget and a plan for funding the proposed project or program beyond the grant period.
