Grantmaking
We are proud to partner with organizations serving the deep South Texas Mid-Valley community. In order to receive funding, an organization must be a qualified public entity or an Internal Revenue Service recognized 501(c)(3), 509(a), or Section 170(c)(1) with current Form 990s and in good standing with the IRS and relevant state and local authorities.
We approach all grant-making through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health. Requests must meet at least one of the five Social Determinants of Health outlined below.
We encourage projects that are evidence or research-based, projects that have the capacity to leverage additional funding, and collaborative partnerships.
Where We Fund
We fund organizations serving the deep South Texas Mid-Valley community. This includes the communities of: San Carlos, La Blanca, Donna, Hargill, La Feria, La Sara, Lyford, Mercedes, Progreso, Raymondville, Santa Rosa, Sebastian, and Weslaco, including the Delta area: Edcouch, Elsa, La Villa, Monte Alto, and other rural communities within the Mid-Valley region. Organizations are not required to have a physical location in the Mid-Valley as long as they provide services in these communities.
How to Apply
Typically, an information session/Funding Forum is held each spring, with grant applications due in the summer and funding award notifications mid- to late Fall. Specific dates will vary year to year. Join our email list by filling out the form on the "Contact" portion of our website or call 956.854.4534 to stay updated. The organization will first submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) through the grant application portal. If the LOI is approved, an invitation to apply will be emailed to the applicant. Only those entities that receive invitations to apply may submit a full application. All applications must be submitted through the grant application portal.
