The Guido and Ruth Shumake Charitable Trust focuses on local Fort Worth-area operating support, concentrating sizeable recurring grants to mental/behavioral health services and one-off support for girls' education. Almost all recent dollars went to a mental health nonprofit (multiple grants) and to a young women's leadership academy, indicating a preference for sustaining core operations of community health and education providers.
Small, highly concentrated giving: few grants per year with a clear preference for repeat funding to a single mental-health foundation and occasional support for local education institutions. Grants are modest in number but sizable relative to the foundation's total giving.
A recurring $10,000 operating grant to Mhmr Foundation shows how the Guido and Ruth Shumake Charitable Trust backs local nonprofits that provide community mental and behavioral health services. The trust’s recent grant record is built around operating support rather than project-only funding, with repeated awards to organizations serving Fort Worth and nearby North Texas. That pattern includes support for mental health services, girls’ secondary education, and a range of community-serving nonprofits. The trust gave multiple grants to Mhmr Foundation across 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting an ongoing relationship with a provider in the local behavioral health space. It also supported Young Women’s Leadership Academy with operating funds, indicating attention to girls’ education and leadership development in Fort Worth. Alongside those larger commitments, the trust made smaller operating grants to organizations such as The Cliburn, Cristo Rey Fw Catholic High School, Saving Hope Foundation, and Amon Carter Museum, showing a broad local portfolio anchored in Fort Worth-area nonprofit infrastructure.
Community mental and behavioral health is a clear priority. The trust gave $10,000 to Mhmr Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all for operating funds, which points to sustained support for a local provider rather than one-time project financing. Girls’ education and leadership development is another visible theme. In 2023, Young Women’s Leadership Academy received a $10,000 operating grant, and it received additional operating support of $2,500 in 2024 and $2,500 in 2025. The trust also funds nonprofit infrastructure across other community-serving areas. Texas Health Resources Foundation received $5,000 operating grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Ronald Mcdonald House of Fw received $2,500 operating grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,000, and the 75th percentile is $4,375. Recent grants cluster around operating support, with many awards in the $2,000 to $5,000 range and a smaller number at $10,000. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Mhmr Foundation, Texas Health Resources Foundation, Ronald Mcdonald House of Fw, The Cliburn, Saving Hope Foundation, Cristo Rey Fw Catholic High School, and Young Women’s Leadership Academy. That pattern indicates repeat support rather than isolated gifts.
