Hillcrest Foundation concentrates its giving in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with a strong emphasis on capital and campaign support for health care, behavioral health, and children- and family-focused services. It also funds education (K–12 and higher ed expansions), hunger and basic-needs providers, and civic/cultural place-making projects; grants frequently support facilities, technology and program start-up needs. The foundation shows interest in faith-based and Jewish communal organizations alongside large regional hospital systems, signaling a mix of community health, youth development, and civic improvement priorities.
Hillcrest Foundation C/o Bank of America Na backs capital-heavy projects in Dallas–Fort Worth, with recent grants repeatedly supporting hospital expansion, behavioral health infrastructure, and children’s services. A $500,000 grant to Parkland Foundation for the Richland Health Center at Dallas College appears twice in the recent-grants list, underscoring sustained attention to expanding healthcare access in Dallas County. The foundation also made multiple $500,000 commitments to Children’s Medical Center Foundation for a new Dallas pediatric hospital campus and to Methodist-related hospital foundations for women’s and children’s services at Methodist Dallas Medical Center. Beyond health care, it has funded childcare, school facility upgrades, hunger relief, and civic construction projects that shape the region’s physical and service landscape. The pattern in the grant list points to a funder that supports large undertakings rather than small operating awards. Grants go to hospitals, education providers, social-service organizations, and cultural institutions, often with restricted uses tied to construction, renovation, equipment, or program launch. Recent awards also include Jewish Family Service of Dallas, Dallas Holocaust Museum, Trinity Park Conservancy, and The Salvation Army North Texas Area Command, showing a broad but locally concentrated set of community priorities.
Health care is a central theme. The foundation gave $500,000 to Texas Health Resources Foundation for the Margot Perot Center renovation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas and $350,000 to Baylor Health Care System Foundation for Drager Leobed incubwarmer beds for the neonatal intensive care center at Baylor University Medical Center. It also supported Irving Healthcare Foundation with $250,000 to expand surgical capacity at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving. In education, Hillcrest Foundation C/o Bank of America Na supported facility growth and school programming. It gave $400,000 to Dallas Baptist University for Collins Learning Center renovations, $375,000 to Austin College for facility renovation costs tied to a physician assistant program, and $300,000 to Uplift Education for libraries in its 2021–2026 strategic growth plan. Basic-needs and family support organizations also appear in the recent grants. The foundation gave $500,000 to The Salvation Army North Texas Area Command for a childcare center at its new Dallas social service center and $300,000 to North Texas Food Bank for food purchase.

Mostly large, one-time or episodic capital and campaign grants concentrated in the DFW region; a mix of repeat multi-year support to a subset of core grantees and substantial single-grant commitments to hospitals, education institutions, and civic projects rather than many small discretionary awards.
Notable grantees: Parkland Foundation, North Texas Food Bank, Children's Medical Center Foundation, Metrocare Services, Uplift Education
Typical grant size is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile, while the recent list also shows repeated $250,000 to $500,000 awards for major projects. The foundation is a Bank DAF Program and files as a local funder. Its recent grants show repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Parkland Foundation, North Texas Food Bank, Uplift Education, and Fair Park First. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships around specific capital or program goals rather than one-off awards. Several grants are restricted to construction, renovation, equipment, or food purchase.
Grantmaking is entirely in Texas, with 100% of grants to recipients in the HQ state and the top giving state also Texas. The recent list is heavily centered in Dallas, with additional awards in Plano, Arlington, Irving, Coppell, Sherman, and Austin. Dallas recipients include Parkland Foundation, Trinity Park Conservancy, Metrocare Services, Dallas Baptist University, and Dallas Holocaust Museum. Outside Dallas, notable recipient cities include Plano for North Texas Food Bank, Arlington for Texas Health Resources Foundation, and Irving for Irving Healthcare Foundation.
Recent grants favor capital and construction-restricted projects in health care, behavioral health, education, and civic spaces. Examples in the data include hospital renovations, pediatric campus development, school facility upgrades, childcare center construction, and park or museum improvements.
The grant-size distribution centers on $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants list also includes several larger commitments of $250,000 to $500,000 for major projects.
Its grantmaking is locally concentrated in Texas, and every grant in the recipient-country distribution goes to the US. Within Texas, recent awards reach Dallas most often, with additional grants in Plano, Arlington, Irving, Coppell, Sherman, and Austin.
Yes. Parkland Foundation, North Texas Food Bank, Uplift Education, and Fair Park First each appear more than once in the recent-grants list, showing repeated support for specific projects or phases over multiple years.
