Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation

About Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation

A defining pattern in Craig and Kathryn Hall Foundation grantmaking is repeated support for a few large projects rather than broad small-grant distribution. The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation appears multiple times in the recent grants list, including two $200,000 grants and another $150,000 grant, all for program support in Arlington, Texas. The University of Texas Foundation also receives repeated six-figure support, with $150,000 grants in both 2024 and 2025. Those gifts sit alongside continuing support for the Communities Foundation of Texas, which received $100,000 grants in 2024 and 2025. Together, these grants point to a funder that backs capital, program, and strategic operating needs for a small set of institutions over multiple years. The foundation’s giving is also visibly tied to Texas civic and cultural work. Recent grants include support for Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, North Texas Food Bank, and Quality of Life Foundation Metro Dallas, showing that the portfolio includes both major institutions and local community needs. Outside Texas, the recent record includes support for Napa Valley Festival Association and Legal Aid of Sonoma County, as well as a Maui Strong Fund grant through Hawaii Community Foundation. The mix suggests a national footprint, but with a strong concentration on Texas and selected place-based partners.
