The Mitchel & Aubrey Johnson Family Foundation concentrates its giving on education and community-focused programs in Texas, with sizable support for higher education (notably Texas Christian University), scholarship programs for military families, and local youth/outdoor initiatives. Grants are targeted and often repeat to the same organizations, suggesting sustained partnerships with a small set of regional nonprofits that provide scholarships, campus support, and community youth services.
A small, concentrated portfolio of mid-sized grants with repeated awards to a handful of grantees; funding is regional and relationship-driven rather than broadly distributed.
The Mitchel & Aubrey Johnson Family Foundation’s largest recent grant went to Texas Christian University, with $47,973 in 2024 for general support, after a $25,000 general-support grant in 2023. That pattern points to a foundation that backs institutions and community organizations with flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project grants. Its recent giving also includes sustained support for Folds of Honor Foundation, along with local Fort Worth-area nonprofits working in youth services, outdoor recreation, and community support. The foundation’s grant list shows a regional portfolio centered in Texas, especially Fort Worth and nearby communities, with additional support reaching New Mexico and Oklahoma. Several recipients appear more than once across years, including Cloud Covered Streets, Cover 6 Outdoors, Cook Children’s, Pythian Home, and Arborlawn United Methodist Church. General support is the dominant grant purpose in the recent record, indicating organization-level funding across education, military-family assistance, youth development, and community-based services. The foundation also makes smaller grants alongside larger institutional awards, suggesting a mix of anchor relationships and broad local support.
Education is a central part of the foundation’s grantmaking. Texas Christian University received $47,973 in 2024 for general support, and Alto Lake Scholarship Fund received $5,050 in 2025 for general support, showing direct support for higher education and scholarship access. Military-family assistance is another clear theme. Folds of Honor Foundation received $10,220 in 2024 and $10,100 in 2023, both for general support, followed by another $5,000 grant in 2025. That repeated pattern suggests ongoing support for scholarship and assistance work connected to military families. Youth and community programs also receive consistent backing. Cloud Covered Streets received $10,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, while Cover 6 Outdoors received $10,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, both for general support. Heather's Old Skool Village also received $10,000 in 2025, extending the foundation’s support for local youth-facing services.
Grant sizes cluster around smaller operating-style awards, with a typical range of $500 at the 25th percentile, $1,250 at the median, and $6,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also includes a few much larger grants, most notably to Texas Christian University and Folds of Honor Foundation. Recurring support is a defining feature: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Cloud Covered Streets, Cover 6 Outdoors, Cook Children’s, Pythian Home, Arborlawn United Methodist Church, and Folds of Honor Foundation. The foundation is organized as a family foundation and, in the recent grants shown, uses general support as the stated purpose.
