About Boone Family Foundation
The Boone Family Foundation concentrates its giving on two distinct regional priorities in North and Central Texas: land conservation/park development and access to reproductive health services. Grants are large, unrestricted operating support directed at established organizations to advance a specific project (five-mile creek parks/trails) and to expand reproductive healthcare and education across the region. The foundation makes repeat, sizable awards rather than many small grants, signaling a strategic, project-focused approach.

About Boone Family Foundation
The Boone Family Foundation stands out for pairing major park and trail capital with reproductive health funding in North and Central Texas. Its largest recent award was $1,000,000 to The Trust for Public Land for development and construction of Five Mile Creek’s system of parks and trails, a project that also received another large operating and capital grant in 2024. Alongside that land-use work, the foundation has backed reproductive healthcare providers at substantial levels, including multiple grants to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas for operating support and expansion of reproductive healthcare and education. The pattern is not limited to one-off gifts: the same priorities recur across years, with support for parks, trails, and green space alongside clinics, contraception access, and related infrastructure. The foundation also funds early literacy and child-focused programs in Dallas County, showing that its giving extends beyond its two most visible regional anchors. Across the recent-grants list, awards are frequently in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, indicating a foundation that tends to support established organizations and named projects rather than small dispersed grants.
What Boone Family Foundation Funds
In parks and green space, the Boone Family Foundation backed The Trust for Public Land with $325,000 in 2024 for operating and capital support tied to Five Mile Creek in South Dallas, and it gave Trinity Park Conservancy $250,000 in 2024 for operating support for Harold Simmons Park. It also supported Fair Park First with $250,000 in 2024 for Fair Park Community Park. In reproductive health, the foundation gave Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas $500,000 in 2024 for operating support to expand reproductive healthcare and education for Texans in North and Central Texas. It also funded the Center for Reproductive Rights with $250,000 in 2024 for protection and access to reproductive rights through litigation. Child and family support appears in the foundation’s backing of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, which received $434,000 in 2025 for Once Upon a Month, a program giving children in Dallas County one book every month from birth to age 5. The foundation has also supported Commit with $250,000 in 2025 for a fund aimed at reducing childhood poverty and raising living-wage attainment in Dallas by 2040.
