The James N McCoy Foundation concentrates its philanthropic resources on Wichita Falls-area institutions, with a strong emphasis on strengthening Midwestern State University and local youth-serving organizations. Most grants are large, multi-year or multi-installment awards directed toward capital projects and facility improvements, plus significant support for day-to-day operations of community recreation and youth programs. The foundation appears focused on local higher education capacity-building and sustaining community services that benefit children and families in the region.
A recurring feature of James N Mccoy Foundation grantmaking is its support for Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls. The foundation has made multiple large awards to the university, including $800,000 for capital campaign work in 2024, $800,000 for general operations in 2023, and $350,000 in 2025 for a military scholarship program. That pattern places higher education, campus development, and student support at the center of its local giving.

In recent grants, it gave $750,000 to YMCA of Wichita Falls for general operations, $695,600 to Boys & Girls Club of Wichita Falls for capital campaign and general operations, and $324,600 to Wichita Falls Area Food Bank for general operations. Other significant awards have gone to Hospice of Wichita Falls, United Regional Foundation, and Wichita Falls Independent School District. Across the grants list, the foundation’s support is not limited to one type of institution. It combines operating support, capital funding, and special-purpose awards, often for organizations that serve Wichita Falls and Wichita County. The recent record also includes support for volunteer fire fighters through the Wichita Falls Area Community Foundation.
