The Hollomon-Price Foundation is primarily an environmental funder that backs habitat and species protection, marine plastics reduction, and land conservation both locally in Texas and internationally in tropical and boreal forests. They also support youth climate engagement and practical infrastructure for conservation organizations (rehab facilities, land management, and tools to measure cleanup impact). Grants are large and targeted, often concentrated on a small set of recurring grantees and projects with clear measurable outcomes.
A defining feature of Hollomon-price Foundation’s recent grantmaking is its repeated support for environmental projects that combine land protection, species conservation, and hands-on infrastructure. One of the largest recent awards went to Sea Turtle Inc in South Padre Island, Texas, for renovation of its rehabilitation facility, showing a willingness to fund capital needs tied to wildlife care. The foundation also made a major grant to NRDC - Boreal Forest to support creation of Indigenous Protected & Conserved Areas to secure intact boreal forests, indicating interest in large-landscape conservation beyond Texas. Alongside those awards, it has backed conservation organizations working on practical outcomes: land acquisition for Big Bend Conservancy, habitat management for Arboretum San Antonio, and cleanup and plastics work through Ocean Conservancy. The pattern is not limited to one region or one kind of project. Grants also reach youth climate engagement, rainforest conservation in Peru and Ecuador, and training or equipment that helps organizations carry out conservation work more effectively. Across these examples, the foundation’s giving favors targeted projects with defined conservation or education purposes rather than broad operating support.
Land and habitat protection appear throughout the foundation’s portfolio. Big Bend Conservancy received $100,000 for purchase of 3,815 acres along the western boundary of Big Bend National Park, and Arboretum San Antonio received $200,000 for land management improvements including security, signs, gates, lights, and a connection to a recycled water system. Wildlife and species-focused work is another clear theme. Sea Turtle Inc was awarded $235,000 for renovation of its rehabilitation facility, while Wildlife Conservation Network received $50,000 for the Niassa Lion Project and conflict with Botswana’s cheetah population. The foundation also backs youth climate engagement: ECORISE - Mayor’s Youth Council received $115,805 for its climate initiatives council and a later $35,805 grant for paid internship opportunities for six youth council members. Environmental education and infrastructure show up as well, including support for a community environmentally themed art project on the San Antonio River and filtration and life-support upgrades at Southfork Natural History Museum & Nature Center.

Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small portfolio of recurring and mission-aligned organizations; mixes local Texas place-based investments with strategic international forest and ocean conservation grants.
Notable grantees: EcoRise (Mayor's Youth Council), Sea Turtle Inc., Ocean Conservancy, Rainforest Partnership, Big Bend Conservancy
Recent grants cluster around a mid-sized range, with a typical grant size of p25 $15,000, median $30,000, and p75 $61,375. Several awards are repeated to the same recipients across multiple years, including ECORISE - Mayor’s Youth Council, Rainforest Partnership, Sea Turtle Inc, Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Wildlife Conservation Network, Southfork Natural History Museum & Nature Center, and Shelburne Farms. That repetition suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grant programs are invitation-only or board-initiated, and unsolicited applications are not accepted. Grant sizes in the recent list range from smaller $20,000 awards to larger six-figure grants, with some projects funded through direct support and others through capital or facility-related needs.
Most grants land in Texas, which accounts for 52% of recipients in the HQ state, but the foundation’s giving also reaches beyond San Antonio to Austin, South Padre Island, Dallas, and Big Bend National Park. Outside Texas, recent recipients include Washington, DC; New York, NY; San Francisco, CA; Tempe, AZ; and Bridgehampton, NY. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based in the recent grants list, even though the foundation’s program descriptions include global and Latin American geography. Arizona stands out as the top state by grant count, indicating more frequent giving there than in Texas despite the headquarters being in San Antonio.
