The David B Hendricks II Foundation concentrates its modest giving on higher education scholarship support, primarily funding Texas-based institutions. All recorded grants (three totaling $45,000) were directed to Texas Christian University for scholarship purposes, indicating a targeted interest in supporting student aid at this university, likely with a regional or faith-affiliated focus.
Highly concentrated and repeat giving: a small number of mid-sized grants exclusively to a single institution (three grants to TCU), indicating preference for focused, relationship-based scholarship support rather than broad or diversified grantmaking.
Three Texas Christian University grants anchor the David B Hendricks II Foundation’s recent record, including $15,000 in 2023, $15,000 in 2024, and $15,000 in 2025 for scholarship and other financial support. That repeated support signals a foundation built around higher education aid rather than broad, multi-cause grantmaking. The pattern continues across other Texas campuses and student-serving organizations, with grants to the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, and UMKC Foundation appearing alongside scholarship and financial support language. The foundation also made a $2,634 award for commissioned art work at Texas Christian University, showing that its giving can extend beyond tuition aid into project-specific support tied to a recipient institution. The scale of the funder is modest but steady: annual grants given are $174,084 against total assets of $614,265. Most of the giving is concentrated in Texas, and the recipient list shows a strong preference for institutions and organizations in the state. The foundation’s recent record is therefore best understood as targeted, locally oriented support for students and affiliated programs, with Texas Christian University as the clearest recurring recipient.
Scholarship support is the clearest theme in the David B Hendricks II Foundation’s grant record. The foundation gave $15,000 to Texas Christian University in 2024 for provide scholarship support, and also funded Texas A&M University with $10,000 in 2025 for provide scholarship support and $5,000 in 2024 for scholarship support. Student aid at public universities appears as a second thread. The University of Houston received $10,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025 for scholarship or financial support, while UMKC Foundation received $10,000 in 2025 for scholarship support. Beyond higher education, the foundation has supported youth and family-service organizations. Youth Reach Houston received $7,500 in 2023 and again in 2024 for financial support, and Children’s Safe Harbor received $5,000 in 2024 and $5,000 in 2025 for financial support. That mix shows a grantmaker centered on education, with some direct support for local service organizations.
Grant sizes cluster in the middle range: p25 is $5,000, median is $7,500, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record includes repeated awards across multiple years, especially to the same education and community organizations, which points to recurring support rather than isolated one-time gifts. The foundation also makes restricted awards for specific purposes such as scholarship support, financial support, and commissioned art work. It does not make program-related investments.
