Create Healthy Management is a regionally focused funder in the Texas Hill Country that prioritizes early childhood infrastructure, youth recreation/equipment, and community health access. They make large capital investments to build or expand childcare facilities and community amenities, while also supporting local school districts, youth organizations, and health services with smaller program and equipment grants. The foundation favors local, faith-affiliated and community nonprofits in and around Fredericksburg, TX.
Create Healthy Management’s largest recent grants point to a foundation building physical infrastructure in the Texas Hill Country: a $1.6 million award to Bethany Lutheran Church Preschool for childcare construction, followed by $900,000 for Fredericksburg Friends of the Fields to build community soccer fields. Those two grants capture a recurring pattern in its giving: large capital support for early childhood spaces and community recreation, alongside smaller awards that help local organizations operate and expand services. The foundation also backed Little Hearts Child Development Center with $771,786 for startup operating costs, and provided $545,000 to Fredericksburg Community Health Ctr for expansion and general support. Its portfolio also includes grants to schools, youth organizations, faith-based nonprofits, and health-related groups across the Texas Hill Country. In addition to capital projects, the foundation makes program and unrestricted grants, including support for mental health services, healthcare worker support, scholarships in healthcare fields, and food-delivery assistance. The pattern suggests a locally anchored funder that favors tangible, community-serving investments with long implementation horizons and direct benefit to children, families, and residents in surrounding towns.
Childcare infrastructure is a clear priority. Create Healthy Management awarded $1.6 million to Bethany Lutheran Church Preschool for construction of a childcare facility, and $500,000 to Little Hearts Child Development Center for construction of a child care facility. It also supported Mason United Methodist Church with $129,324 for childcare expansion. Recreation infrastructure is another major theme: the foundation gave $294,000 to Fredericksburg Independent School District for playground equipment, plus $102,000 to Blanco Independent School District and $95,000 to Comfort Independent School District for the same purpose. Health and human services also appear across the portfolio. Hill Country Community MHMR Center received $195,269 for mental health support, while Fredericksburg Community Health Ctr received $545,000 for expansion and general support. Food access shows up as well, including $50,000 to San Antonio Food Bank Inc for local delivery of a mobile food pantry.

Concentrated, place-based giving: a small number of very large capital grants (childcare facility construction, community fields) combined with many moderate-size awards for playgrounds, program support, and scholarships. The foundation repeats funding to core local grantees and prioritizes visible, infrastructure-oriented investments over one-off national charities.
Notable grantees: Bethany Lutheran Church Preschool, Little Hearts Child Development Center, Fredericksburg Community Health Center, Fredericksburg Independent School District / local ISDs (multiple playground grants), Boys & Girls Club of the Texas Hill Country
