About Allen Lovelace Moore and Blanche Davis Moore Foundation
Annual grants to children and youth organizations are the core of Allen Lovelace Moore and Blanche Davis Moore Foundation’s recent giving, with repeated support for service providers in Corpus Christi and nearby South Texas communities. The foundation backs programs for youth meals, child care, housing, outreach, education, healthcare, legal aid, and shelter, often through grants at the $10,000 to $20,000 level. Its mission statement also places religious, educational, scientific, and literary charitable purposes within a framework consistent with historic Judeo-Christian principles and a preference for private enterprise and limited government. Corpus Christi groups appear often in the recent grants list.
