About Beaumont Foundation of America
A defining feature of the Beaumont Foundation of America is its sustained support for both major statewide institutions and local partners in Southeast Texas. Among the largest recent gifts are $1,000,000 grants to Huntsman Cancer Foundation in both 2023 and 2024, alongside six-figure support for children’s services, food banks, and scholarship-related programs. That mix shows a funder working across health care, education, and social services rather than a single niche. The foundation’s grantmaking reaches nonprofit organizations and government agencies, with activity centered in Texas. Recent awards include repeated support for Upbring and Depelchin Childrens Center, as well as grants tied to schools, scholarship administration, and direct assistance for children, families, and older adults. The foundation also runs named initiatives such as Excellence in Education and Children of Fallen Heroes, which point to a structured approach to targeted giving. Its profile combines large institutional grants with smaller community-based awards. Recent recipients in Beaumont, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Plano show a pattern of backing both local service providers and larger intermediaries that serve broad populations.
What Beaumont Foundation of America Funds
Education is a core part of the Beaumont Foundation of America’s work. In one recent example, the foundation gave $125,000 to San Augustine Hs College Scholarshi in 2024, and it also supports scholarship administration through its Scholars Portal and reporting system. Children and youth services are another clear priority. The foundation awarded $120,000 to Upbring in both 2023 and 2024, and its children-and-youth programming also includes foster care institutions, therapeutic services for children with autism, delays, or disabilities, youth shelters, and aging-out programs. Food insecurity is addressed through multiple Texas food banks. Recent grants of $100,000 went to El Pasoans Fighting Hunger, while other awards supported the Central Texas Food Bank and the San Antonio Food Bank. The foundation also funds organizations serving older adults, including Nutrition & Services for Seniors.
How Beaumont Foundation of America Gives
Typical awards cluster in the tens of thousands: the p25 grant size is $20,000, the median is $45,000, and the p75 is $76,050. The recent-grants list also shows a wide upper tail, with several $100,000 awards and two $1,000,000 grants to the same health-related grantee in consecutive years. The pattern is repeat-oriented rather than one-off. Upbring, Depelchin Childrens Center, Some Other Place, Nutrition & Services for Seniors, and Southeast Texas Food Bank each appear in multiple years. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it makes grants rather than program-related investments. Some programs accept unsolicited applications, including scholarship and education-technology programs, while general grantmaking and foundation-initiated efforts are not open to unsolicited requests.
