The Hulsey Family Foundation concentrates local philanthropic support in North Texas with an emphasis on independent and Episcopal K–12 schools, parish-level church support, and a smaller but significant focus on community-serving organizations like food security and civic/service clubs. Grants are predominantly unrestricted operating support, suggesting a preference for sustaining organizational capacity rather than project-specific funding.
The Hulsey Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored in North Texas schools and faith communities, with Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth receiving $27,000 in 2025 and St. John’s Episcopal School in Dallas receiving $20,000 the same year. That pattern extends beyond education into parish support and nearby community organizations, showing a local grantmaker that backs institutions embedded in daily life. The foundation’s grants commonly appear as general operating support, which points to a preference for strengthening organizations’ core work rather than underwriting isolated projects. Among its education grants, the foundation has supported independent and Episcopal K–12 schools such as Trinity Valley School and St. John’s School Parents Association in Dallas, along with school-affiliated groups like booster clubs and excellence funds. In the faith and community space, Church of the Incarnation in Dallas received both $20,000 and $15,000, while Salesmanship Club and North Texas Food Bank also appear in the grant record. The foundation also makes smaller grants to individuals through scholarship support, including the Brook Hollow Scholarship Fund at the Dallas Foundation.
Education is one of the clearest themes in the Hulsey Family Foundation’s giving. Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth received $27,000 in 2025, including general operating funds and booster club support, while St. John’s School Parents Association in Dallas received $20,000 in 2024 and again in 2023. Faith-based support is another recurring area. Church of the Incarnation in Dallas received $20,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2025 as general operating support, and Highland Park Presbyterian Church received $10,000 in 2023. The foundation also funds community-serving organizations. North Texas Food Bank in Plano received $25,000 in 2023 for general operating funds, and Austin Street Shelter in Dallas received $10,000 in 2025. Scholarship support appears as well through the Brook Hollow Scholarship Fund at the Dallas Foundation.
Typical grant size centers on $10,000: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is also $10,000. That narrow spread fits a pattern of relatively small, steady awards rather than highly variable grant sizes. The foundation’s recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including school, church, and community organizations, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. It also gives general operating support frequently, and it makes grants to individuals as well as organizations. The available record does not show an application process.
