The Van Lopik Memorial Foundation concentrates on child- and family-focused services with an emphasis on pediatric health, care for children with disabilities, and basic needs in underserved communities. Grants are heavily local to the Dallas/Fort Worth region (with some support in nearby Gulf states) while also occasionally funding faith-based and humanitarian work in Africa and refugee services. Many recipients are direct-service nonprofits—hospitals, shelters, food banks, special-needs schools, and community centers—often faith-affiliated or youth leadership programs.
A defining pattern in Grace a Manning and Charles Robert Van Lopik Memorial Charitable Fdn’s recent giving is support for direct services to children, families, and people with disabilities. In 2025, the foundation awarded $20,000 to Holy Angels Residential Facility for individuals with mental disabilities, alongside $19,700 to Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for orthopedic care to children and $16,000 to Notre Dame School of Dallas for students with developmental disabilities. Those grants sit within a broader mix that also reaches temporary housing for hospitalized children, food assistance, school programs, and services for at-risk mothers and seniors. The foundation’s portfolio also includes community-based and faith-linked organizations, such as St Mattias Anglican Church for parish outreach activities and Feed Lake Highlands for community food support. International humanitarian work appears in the record as well, through grants for Nigeria, South Sudan, and East African children. Across the recent grants list, the foundation favors organizations delivering hands-on care rather than general operating support, with recipients ranging from hospitals and residential facilities to schools, refugee services, and neighborhood programs.
Child and family services are central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $17,599 to Geaux 4 Kids Inc for children in crisis and $12,500 to Hope Supply Company for supplies for at-risk infants and toddlers. Support for people with disabilities is another clear area: the foundation awarded $20,000 to Holy Angels Residential Facility for individuals with mental disabilities and $16,000 to Notre Dame School of Dallas for students with developmental disabilities. Education-related grants also appear in the record, including $15,000 to Common Ground Community Inc for summer camp programs and $12,198 to Sci-tech Discovery Center for a STEAM program for students. Food and basic-needs work is represented by $17,598 to Food Bank of Northwest La for Feed Northwest LA and $7,880 to Vna for Meals on Wheels.
Recent grants cluster in the low five-figure range, with a median of about $12,500 and a middle half from roughly $7,880 to $17,599. The list shows repeated support to the same service model across different organizations rather than large one-time awards. The foundation’s latest filing shows annual grants of $394,000 against total assets of $10,193,595. It also funds individuals, and the recent-grants record is made up entirely of grants to U.S. recipients. The available record does not show an application process or whether grants are limited to invited requests.

Modest, mid-sized grants distributed across many organizations rather than a few large multi-year commitments; a mix of repeat regional grantees and one-off gifts to faith-based and international relief groups.
