Breaking the link between poverty and disability by advancing inclusion, accessibility, education, workforce development, and vision health for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Fox Family Foundation centers disability inclusion through programs for blind and visually impaired people, and its grantmaking also reaches vision screenings, assistive technology, education, and workforce pathways. The foundation’s active portfolio includes the Inclusive Innovation Fund, InVisions, Visionary Scholars Fund, Exceptional Scholars Fund, and Data for Inclusion Fund, each built around inclusion, independent living, learning, and research. A strong pattern in the recent grants list is support for place-based work in Texas alongside a small number of grants tied to conservation, health, and other community needs. Among the larger recent awards, Hill Country Conservancy received $25,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025 for watershed and private-lands conservation in the Texas Hill Country. The foundation also gave $15,000 in 2025 to Mengo Hospital Partners for a pediatric healthcare partnership in Kampala, Uganda. Its named programs show a clear preference for practical, mission-aligned support: youth-centered innovation, education and career access, open data, and community vision services. The recent-grants record also includes repeated support for organizations serving children, families, and people with disabilities, which fits the foundation’s stated aim of breaking the link between poverty and disability.
Education and workforce development appear in multiple grants. Texas A&M Department of Rangeland Wildlife and Fisheries received $10,000 in 2024 for a campus research project, and the University of Texas School of Law received $1,000 in 2024 and $1,000 in 2025 for law school support. Community health and food access also show up in the record: North Texas Food Bank received $1,000 in 2024 for feeding the hungry and $1,000 in 2025 to close the hunger gap in North Texas. Early intervention is another recurring theme. Yellowstone Forever received $1,000 in 2025 for preserving Yellowstone National Park through education, and the foundation’s vision-focused programs point to screenings and early support for blind and low vision individuals. The grants also include direct support for organizations serving families and children, such as Arms of Hope and St. Philip’s School, which aligns with the foundation’s emphasis on inclusion and educational access.
