To reduce the burden of cancer and to promote and serve the healthcare needs of residents living in Amarillo and surrounding communities.
Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation gives through a tightly local lens: all of the grants in the data go to Texas recipients, with the largest awards supporting colleges, hospitals, and health providers in Amarillo and nearby communities. The foundation’s mission centers on reducing the burden of cancer and serving the healthcare needs of residents in Amarillo and surrounding communities, and that shows up in its recent grant record. One major grant went to the Wtamu Foundation for scholarships, while another supported Moore County Health Foundation for equipment. Other sizable awards reached Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for therapy and equipment and Northwest Texas Hospital for pediatric equipment. The pattern is broad within health, but still mission-bound: cancer care, supportive services, pediatric health, patient assistance, and related community health needs appear alongside scholarships and facility support. Recipients include hospitals, nonprofit service providers, and educational institutions, all within the foundation’s local service area.
Cancer care is a core theme. Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation gave $187,500 to Wtamu Foundation for medical services and $25,600 to Harrington Cancer Center for a wig boutique, both tied to services that support people affected by cancer. Pediatric and family health also appears in the grant list: Northwest Texas Hospital received $120,000 for pediatric equipment, and Family Support Services received $55,000 for medication and dental support. Behavioral health and recovery show up as well, including an $80,000 grant to Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute for mental health and a $30,000 grant to Downtown Women’s Center for a recovery program. The foundation also funds clinical capacity, as seen in grants for therapy, physical therapy, counseling services, and pharmacy improvement.
Typical grant size sits at a $10,000 25th percentile, a $25,600 median, and a $55,000 75th percentile, with larger awards also appearing in the recent record. The foundation is a public charity, not a fund for individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking looks recurring rather than one-off: several recipients appear more than once across the recent grants list, including Wtamu Foundation, Northwest Texas Hospital, Turn Center, and Texas Tech Foundation Inc. The active grant programs show a mix of open and targeted giving, and several programs accept unsolicited requests, including Community Grants, Women’s Circle Grants, and Community Organization Grants.
